Travel restrictions for remote communities

The Australian Government has restricted travel into remote communities to help protect people from Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Residents should stay in their communities and limit unnecessary travel unless it is for essential medical treatment.

Residents who leave and wish to return to their community must self-isolate for 14 days. State and Territory Governments will help people who do not have appropriate arrangements to self-isolate.

Essential service personnel can keep delivering important services and supplies.
