Western Australia's controlled border arrangements will change from midnight tonight.
Based on the latest health advice, New Zealand will transition from 'low risk' to 'medium risk' meaning travel into WA will no longer be permitted unless you have an exemption.
Also from midnight tonight, New South Wales will be upgraded to 'extreme risk'.
Under the 'extreme risk' category, travel from NSW into WA will not be allowed.
Those exempt include certain Commonwealth government officials and defence personnel with compassionate grounds no longer an exemption.
Premier Mark McGowan said South Australia will be re-classified as 'very low risk' allowing quarantine-free travel.
“A number of safe adjustments are being made to border controls with various jurisdictions," Mr McGowan said.
“In promising news, after 34 days of no community cases, safe travel from South Australia is now permitted after tough lockdown measures enabled them to crush its local outbreak."
Queensland will transition from ‘medium risk’ to ‘low risk’.
This means travel is permitted from Queensland but passengers must be tested on arrival and on day 12 and self-quarantine for 14 days.
“Changes to border controls can occur quickly, and WA will not hesitate to reintroduce tougher border controls if necessary, following health advice, to keep WA safe," Mr McGowan said.
