COVID-19: Australian State Border closures and restrictions in one place

Over the last few months, I have spent a lot of time monitoring Australian state premiers and their COVID-19 related press conferences each morning and then posting any news or border restrictions here on the blog. It’s time-consuming, but you, dear readers seem to appreciate the updates.

But there is a better way to keep up on state border restrictions impacting interstate travel, and strangely, it is on the Tourism Australia website which is primarily targeted at overseas travel audiences.

Just click on the ‘Border Status’ button near the bottom of the screen, and you will be taken here:

So you can easily check state border restrictions. Click on the ‘Check Border Status’ button, and you will be greeted with a page displaying each states border status. The ‘Learn more’ links will take you through to each state’s most current information on travel and border status restrictions.

That’s it.

Here is the link in case you need to manually type it: https://www.australia.com/en/facts-and-planning/useful-tips/coronavirus-travel-safety.html

This is another timely reminder to wear your seatbelt when seated. Holding you close to your seat will protect you from the sort of injuries sustained on this flight, when unsecured passengers flew to the ceiling of the aircraft, and then came crashing down once the ‘drop’ ceased.

The hope will be that this is an anomaly – a ‘freak accident’ in casual parlance. If it is a systemic error either mechanical or electronic, then this is a larger concern for the airlines that fly Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft. Let’s hope it isn’t. If it is, it will pile on the woes to Boeing’s existing stack.

It can be hard to track who is restricting what across state borders. Use this as your go to reference, or these links:
