Quarantine requirements enforced on travellers arriving into New South Wales for the past 18 months will come to an end at the end of October, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has confirmed today.
The decision comes as NSW prepares to achieve its 80% double dose vaccination rate next Monday.
“From 1 November, those people – returning Australians, tourists – who want to come back, who want to visit Australia, who want to come into Sydney, hotel quarantine will be a thing of the past,” Perrottet said.

In partnership with the Commonwealth Government, NSW will require arrivals into Sydney to have a PCR test before they board their flight, and must provide proof of being double vaccinated against COVID-19.
Perrottet’s message was clear, saying Sydney and NSW was “open for business” for double-jabbed people from around the world.
“We want people back. We’re leading the nation out of this pandemic. Our hotel quarantine/home quarantine is a thing of the past.”
“We are opening, Sydney and New South Wales to the world.”
Perrottet said the state would also work with the Commonwealth to ensure protections remain in place so that people are safe.
“We have reached this vaccination milestone quicker than anyone thought we could, and that is a testament to the hard work of people across the State turning out to get vaccinated,” Perrottet said.
“Welcoming back fully vaccinated travellers will not only mean families and friends can be home in time for Christmas, it will also give our economy a major boost.”
