The New South Wales and Victorian border has been closed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community. To support and efficiently manage border closures, we have launched the NSW Border Permit. This is a digital permit to help facilitate border closure and enforcement, to protect the citizens of NSW from coronavirus. It's exciting to know that this was built within 36 hours, which is a big achievement.

This is a simple and easy to use form available on Service NSW, which citizens can complete to obtain a permit. It has been used by Victorian and NSW citizens who required access to NSW as they return home, or to provide essential and critical services in NSW or Victoria.

'Thank you for making each step nice and clear. I guess those who are working on this project are under lots of pressure and deadlines. We appreciate your hard work for the community' said one customer.

With the help of this initiative, customers have been able to access an automated digital form in the time for urgent border closures. Furthermore, it has enabled enforcement officers to validate border permits by using simple QR codes. Since the launch, more than 500,000 permits have been issued, and the customer satisfaction rating has been 96.9%.

Permits for travel to regional NSW

​A permit system for some travel between Greater Sydney and regional NSW will take effect from 12.01am on Saturday 21 August.

Under the updated public health order, the following people traveling from Greater Sydney to regional NSW require a permit:

• anyone from Greater Sydney (including authorised workers from the LGAs of concern) who needs to travel more than 50km from Greater Sydney for work purposes, noting the existing requirement for such workers to have had a COVID test in the previous seven days
• people travelling to a second home outside Greater Sydney. This is now only allowed if you are using the home for work accommodation or if the home requires urgent maintenance and repairs (if so, only one person may travel there)
• people inspecting a potential new residence, but only if they have a genuine intention to relocate as soon as practicable (no investment properties)
• people who are permanently relocating.

For the purposes of this public health order and permit, Greater Sydney will no longer include Shellharbour and the Central Coast. People travelling to Shellharbour and the Central Coast for the above reasons will require a permit to do so.

Taking a holiday to a second residence is not a reasonable excuse to leave home.

Permit applications will be made available on the Service NSW website.

People are permitted to leave their homes to facilitate custody arrangements for access to, and contact between, parents and children under the age of 18 who do not live in the same household.

Due to ongoing concerns about community transmission in some regional areas, stay‑at-home orders in place for regional NSW have been extended until 12.01am on 28 August 2021, in line with orders for the Greater Sydney area.

Everyone must stay at home unless they have a reasonable excuse to leave. They cannot have any visitors in their home from outside their household.

NSW Health urges people to continue to be tested immediately with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms. There are more than 450 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest testing clinic, visit COVID-19 clinics .

Special rules remain in place for the local government areas of concern in Greater Sydney.

The latest information for the disability sector

Nsw covid update: nsw travel permit system now live and stay at home orders extended to 10 september for regional nsw, latest news.

What you need to know

• In addition to receiving one vaccine dose (by 30 Aug), from 28 August disability workers leaving or entering an LGA of concern will require a workers permit
• Requirements for workers leaving Greater Sydney remain the same
• Stay at home orders for regional NSW extended until 10 September

From 12.01am Saturday 28 August, workers entering or leaving LGA’s of concern will require a permit .

Permits are required in the following work related situations:

• An authorised worker living in a local government area (LGA) of concern needing to leave the area for work. This includes travelling to another LGA of concern (also known as a 'workers permit’).
• Entering an LGA of concern for work (also known as a ‘workers permit’).
• An authorised worker from a non-area of concern needing to travel more than 50km outside of Greater Sydney (not including the Central Coast or Shellharbour) for work, and the work cannot be done from home.

NDS has confirmed with NSW Health that providing addresses of participants would not be breaching confidentiality as workers are complying with a Public Health Order. Participant names are not required as part of the permit application process.

We are working with Service NSW to identify a more streamlined process for those workers who attend multiple locations for work on one day or across the two week period.

Workers must carry their workers permit with them at all times along with supporting documents. This can include:

• The employer’s and worker’s details
• The work being done why travel is necessary
• The hours of work – for example, 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. NDS members can provide staff with a copy of their roster to support this requirement
• The dates over which the work will be carried out

Workers will also need to carry proof that they have met any testing or COVID-19 vaccination requirements that apply.

Vaccination Requirements

The most recent Public Health Order requires relevant care workers living or working in an LGA of concern to have at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by 30 August. Workers who have a medical exemption must carry a NSW Health exemption form [PDF] completed by their treating practitioner.

Relevant care workers include:

• Any worker ‘providing disability and support services in person to persons with a disability’ under the NDIS
• Workers providing similar types of services in person to people with disability are also included even if these supports are not funded under the NDIS
• Workers providing assisted school transport funded by NSW Education

Obtaining a vaccination

NSW Health has established priority Pfizer vaccination appointments at the Sydney Olympic Park Qudos Bank Arena Vaccination Centre to support eligible workers to meet the new requirements.

Workers aged 16-39 who live in or work in areas of concern can continue to access priority vaccines .

Vaccines can also be booked through the Australian Department of Health eligibility checker or by calling the National Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 020 080.

In addition, Commonwealth vaccination teams are providing Pfizer vaccinations to residents and staff either at group homes or in vaccination hubs located at disability provider locations.

Vaccination information for people with an intellectual disability

The Department of Health are hosting an information session for people with an intellectual disability and their families and carers on 1st September.

New paperwork required to enter NSW. What does it mean for border residents?

Anyone entering New South Wales from Queensland is now required to fill in a border declaration pass.

Key points:

• NSW entry declaration now required for anyone who has been in Queensland, NT, WA or Victoria
• For the first time NSW has issued a border declaration pass for anyone entering from Queensland
• Residents in NSW who have been in Queensland are also required to follow Queensland's lockdown rules 

It is a first for residents on the border – who now need passes to enter both Queensland and NSW.

Anyone entering NSW who has visited Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia or the Northern Territory after June 30 must complete and carry a NSW border pass.

Cross-Border Commissioner James McTavish says anyone who enters Queensland must follow the same lockdown provisions when they return home to NSW.

"Everyone who is going between jurisdictions needs to have a NSW permit," he said.

"They need to make a border declaration for NSW and have them on their person."

Commissioner McTavish said for those who were working across the border and cannot work from home, they could cross into Queensland with a pass.

"On return to NSW, whether they're in Lismore or Tweed, they're subject to the same stay-at-home provisions as if they were living on the Gold Coast, which means they can only leave home for those essential services," he said. 

"If you can avoid going into Queensland, you should."

Confusion for border residents

Warren Polglase, chairman of Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce, criticised the government's messaging and said the lockdown was "mystifying and confusing" for businesses on the border.

"There is genuine concern but there is so much information you can't understand," he said.

"There's a lot of concern about, 'What do I do and how do I go about it or will I be breaking laws?'

"It's very difficult to interpret exactly what's going on.

"We are a border town with two state governments with sometimes two different opinions and that's concerning."

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said Queensland's lockdown ignited "fear and confusion" in the Tweed.

"It's pretty easy to cross the border and Queensland is policing that at the moment," he said.

"I am a bit disappointed in the Queensland government without putting out clear guidelines and communicate that out there.

"It's a tough time … particularly if you need to cross that border."

New pass 'a joke'

A border bubble initially extended from Tweed to Coffs Harbour, meaning border residents in those areas did not need to make a declaration.

That bubble burst on Monday, after Queensland announced all residents would need to declare their cross-border travel.

Car detailer James Lord said the new pass system was "a joke".

"The amount of times I do cross the border it will be a pain in the neck," he said

"If I have to do it every day, I won't bother going up that side of the border.

"It's going to put my business right out completely — it won't be worth it."

People wanting to leave greater Sydney for some areas of regional NSW will need a permit from Saturday under tough new restrictions to curb the spread of the deadly Delta outbreak.

Under the updated public health order, the following people travelling from Greater Sydney to regional NSW require a permit from 12.01am on Saturday:

• Anyone from greater Sydney, including authorised workers from the local government areas of concern, who need to travel more than 50km from greater Sydney for work purposes;
• People travelling to a second home outside greater Sydney, which is now only allowed if you are using the home for work accommodation or if the home requires urgent maintenance and repairs, for which only one person is allowed to travel there;
• People inspecting a potential new residence, but only if they have a genuine intention to relocate as soon as practicable and not purchase an investment property;
• People who are permanently relocating.

Permits will be available on the Service NSW website from 12.01am on Saturday.

NSW Health said taking a holiday to a second residence was not a reasonable excuse to leave home.

The agency also said that for the purpose of the permits, greater Sydney would no longer include Shellharbour and the Central Coast.

People travelling to Shellharbour and the Central Coast from greater Sydney for one of the permitted reasons will require a permit.

“More information will be available on our website soon,” NSW Health said.

“Due to ongoing concerns about community transmission in some regional areas, stay‑at-home orders in place for regional NSW have been extended until 12.01am on August 28, in line with orders for the greater Sydney area.

“Everyone must stay at home unless they have a reasonable excuse to leave. They cannot have any visitors in their home from outside their household.”

Sydneysiders must apply to travel to Central Coast from Saturday

August 17, 2021

A new permit system will be introduced by the NSW Government, requiring people to receive approval before travelling from Sydney to the Central Coast for particular reasons.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast and Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the permit system would limit people from travelling between a Sydney-based primary residence and a Central Coast-based holiday home.

“There have been too many Sydneysiders exploiting this loophole and potentially putting our region’s health and safety at risk,” Adam Crouch MP

“We are in the most critical phase of fighting COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Now is not the time for Sydneysiders to treat our community as a holiday destination.

“I have brought these significant concerns to Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s attention and thank her for ensuring our region remains as best-protected as possible.

“The permits will take effect on Saturday, 21 August and anyone who does not comply with the system or lies to authorities will cop a $5,000 on-the-spot fine.”

Online permit system

Permits will be accessible through Service NSW and will be required for:

–        Owners of second homes.  Travelling from Sydney to a second home will only be allowed if the home is being used for work accommodation or if the home requires urgent maintenance and repairs. If so, only one person may travel.

–        Inspecting real estate.  Travelling from Sydney to inspect a property will only be allowed if a person genuinely needs a home to live in. Inspecting a prospective investment property will not be allowed.

–        Authorised workers.  Authorised workers from the Sydney LGAs of concern will now require a permit to travel to the Central Coast.

“The Police presence on arterial roads and backroads will be enhanced with the creation of random vehicle checkpoints, manned by 1,400 additional officers deployed to enforce the permit system as part of Operation Stay At Home,” Mr Crouch said.

“Any non-compliance will not be tolerated because it only takes one person doing the wrong thing for COVID-19 to rapidly spread.”

About time the people who live in Sydney were stopped coming to the central coast because they are in lockdown in can’t go to work and think it as an unscheduled holiday

It’s you’re loophole. You have allowed it to operate for the last 7weeks. Congratulations. Another level of incompetence.

Wow public concern and pressure from Central Coast residents has finally forced Adam Crouch to represent his constituents for a change instead of being The Premiers lap dog

What if you are an essential worker & live on the Central Coast and work in an area of concern, do you need a permit?

What if you live on the central coast and are providing a essential service in sydney do you need a permit

Why wait until Saturday?

Adam Crouch’s statements cited in this article are different to the NSW Health website’s Covid restrictions information. Who are we supposed to believe?

My Mother lives at Lake Munmorah she is eighty years old and lives on her own. Am i permitted to visit her or is that asking to much.Stop taking our lives away from us. The Government knew how bad this virus was before it even got here.They have failed to keep Australia safe.

Totally agree nothing is said about how it got here airlines or quarantine issues…not a word believe they are restarting intl flights too Oct 21 per flight website’s. Not just a Sydney issue it’ll get in anywhere its airborne. Hope u have a permit for all states.

See if u can be Ur mums bubble person. From what I’ve heard u can apply for this online starting this Saturday. Good luck

What about compassionate reasons (i.e. visiting a partner you don’t like with)?

Hi I am in the same situation did you find out if we need a permit or is there no change for compassionate reasons

Just got off the phone with service nsw you don’t need a permit for a partner visiting. Although not sure if that applies for the LGAs of concern, but for greater sydney and regional it isn’t needed.

Did you get an answer to that I have been trying to find out too

No permit required to travel to Sydney. Valid reasons still apply though.

Same question, do I need to get a permit?

We put this to Mr Crouch yesterday in an interview. No you don’t need a permit to travel to Sydney, only a valid reason and of course not be sick or symptomatic or been at a exposure site.

I’ve been saying to a few people for weeks,that all north bound traffic should be diverted on to the old Pac highway. Police checks should be conducted at Cowan where the old tollgates use to be. Anyone who lives in Sydney heading north should be stopped by the police and turned around.

I agree. For those with a genuine reason to travel a small inconvenience of a check-point doesn’t hurt. They should also fine anyone who they catch without a genuine reason for travel

Would be great if you could provide a link to the permit as its not showing anywhere that I’ve searched so far, including Service NSW

I have post natal depression and rely on my son’s grandparents from sydney to come help and support me. Can they still come up? What about me? How am I meant to survive?

For the purposes of the covid restrictions, the Central Coast is part of Greater Sydney and does not need a permit. A permit is required if you’re leaving Greater Sydney to enter a regional area.

Why is it I have the feeling that no one gives a damn about the old people living alone. I am 91 and struggle with simple things like taking the bins out.after paying my rent,I have $65 per week to live on. I know kids getting payments from the govt because they previously worked 20hours per week, many of them live with their parents free!

I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I wish I were your neighbour and I would be so glad to take your bins up and back down. You’ve earned the right to not have to struggle in life. Have you accessed the myGov site to see if you are eligible for any additional income? I’m thinking of you and hope it gets easier for you ❤️.

What are the rules regarding parenting when one lives at Roseville and we’re on the coast. We’re dealing with 2 children on the spectrum, home schooling & no help

Borders should be closed for all international flights that’s the cause of this eruption of cases in Australia the government has caused this CLOSE AUSTRALIA

Should of locked down when the first case was detected and stopped anyone leaving Sydney, would of been all over now 🙄

Wow. What a bunch of whiners you are turning out to be. Crouch suggested you dob in your neighbors last week. Real impressive. Now permits.

I’m on my own in the Central Coast and my son comes and visits me sometimes as my one visitor. Is he going to be required to have a permit?

What if a family in different cars come up from Sydney to the same property how are police going to handle this?? But we( Central Coast) can’t do the opposite. Shame on you Groucho and the Government . TOO MANY PUPPETS

Can’t find online permit form on service nsw website. Can anyone tell me where to look. Need to travel for compassionate reasons.

I am in the same boat as you! We called the hotline and apparently they are still putting the permit rules together, really hoping compassionate reasons qualify for a permit :/

This is just marketing spin. Its no different to the rules already in place from NSW police on Monday

I have a vulnerable elderly mother who requires assistance. We are in process of having her assessed for support to allow her access to support workers. In meantime she needs family assistance, to shop, clean etc, however under these new restrictions, she’s on her own. And in addition my mother and I are both fully vaccinated. Can I visit and support her as a vulnerable person? The rules are not clear.

About time Crouch did something …it takes time for him to react….I bet if I had a camera and worked in a Media position …he would be there before you could say …coastie ….Adam stop playing politics and do the right thing by the people that live on the coast….look after their interests …that is what you get paid for

Been waiting for since covid started, stay safe people

Government needs to make mask wearing mandatory as soon as you leave your home and STOP EXERCISING!! Exercise in your home or backyard until things get under control.

Government needs to make mask wearing mandatory as soon as you leave your home and if you cannot wear a mask get a face shield. Stop making excuses! “STOP EXERCISING!! Exercise in your home or backyard until things get under control. “STAY AT HOME”!!!!!!

Doesn’t this article say that permits will be required for only 3 reasons? Presumably anything outside of that has to abide by the other existing rules eg not more than 5kms from home, compassionate reasons excluded, moving house excluded. Or, has this article been written poorly? It’s communication issues like this that make it so hard to know what you can and can’t do.

Dog whistling politics

Although I don’t mind such a permit system, this appears to be fake news. There is no mention of a permit by any government department or website. Crouch should stop scaremongering and allow the government to do their job

Everyone is blaming the government but it is the people who do not stay at home who spread it. About time people took responsibility for the spread. Motorcycle riding is a recreational activity not exercise. So stay at home. If you want to be vaccinated it is your choice but if you or your family contract it and die you have no one else to blame.

Gladys should of moved faster as soon as the delta strain was detected. She had enough information on the delta strain from other countries so no excuse. As the for the protesters you have killed people and that’s all you have achieved.

All very well for advising us, but where is the link ???

Does anyone know if it affects compassionate reasons I live in Sydney but my son lives on the coast

So if we work in Sydney do we need a permit? Bit late telling us if we have to go tomorrow morning and cant get a permit till after midnight!

No you don’t need a permit according to our government MP Adam Crouch

Do tradies going from central coast to northern beaches for work ,require a travel permit from today 20/8/21

Dont forget that people with holiday houses are rate payers too and sometimes employs locals. We are supposed to be represented by the same people who are now against us. Agree that certain rules are to be followed from the beginning, not everyone is breaking the rules dont let the minority ruin it for everybody. Why dont you instead asks for a vaccine certificate? A valid address, a 24hrs negative covid tests ? These are most important solutions rather than a harsh fine. Not all can be controlled or managed by fines.

I wish Gladys was as strong a leader as Dan Andrews learnt about a lockdown was important sooner not later. Gladys please keep it simple & not so complicated & confusing ? Always talk about getting tested seeing long cars waiting for hours & No info about what to do if not have a car ?

Doesn’t help with Airbnb are still advertised in their properties people are coming up from Sydney to the central coast from Sydney to Cessnock Airbnb you need to take your wed sight down
