The Cross Border Travel Directive will be updated by midnight tonight and we will provide a copy of the Direction when it becomes available.... The Premier also acknowledged that the situation in Victoria is very promising and if the situation continues to show low case numbers, the hard border with Victoria could be relaxed in approximately 14 days’ time. Non-essential Victorian travellers would still be required to quarantine for 14 days, however this quarantine could be completed in a private home or dwelling.

Changes to consumption of alcohol The Premier also announced that South Australians may be able to enjoy the vertical consumption of alcohol at licensed premises within 2 weeks if we can continue to see low case numbers in Victoria.

Changes to Western Australia's border arrangements From Saturday, 14 November, WA will transition to a safe and sensible controlled border arrangement based on the latest public health advice. Introduction of WA’s new controlled interstate border arrangement is dependent on every state and territory in Australia recording a 14-day rolling average of less than 5 community cases of COVID-19 per day. If this 14-day rolling average is met, the existing hard border arrangements and current exemption requirements for travel will be removed, allowing Australians to travel into and around WA, subject to conditions of entry. Remote Aboriginal community restrictions within WA are still in place, as well as a modified 2 square metre rule. The WA Chief Health Officer will continue to closely monitor community transmission in other states and territories and will advise the WA Government if any changes to their borders are required.
