Following the latest public health advice, WA’s controlled interstate border will be safely adjusted, pending no further outbreaks, with travel from South Australia permitted into WA subject to the following updated conditions:

  • completion of a G2G Pass declaration, stipulating they do not have any COVID-19 symptoms and which jurisdictions the traveller has been in over the previous 14 days
  • all Perth Airport arrivals to undergo a health screening and temperature test
  • travellers to be prepared to take a COVID-19 test at the airport COVID clinic, if deemed necessary by a health clinician (voluntary asymptomatic testing available for all airport arrivals)
  • all travellers to receive a SMS health check reminder one week into their stay in WA
  • land arrivals to be met at the border checkpoint, for a health screening and to have their G2G Pass declaration checked.

Other jurisdictions currently in the 'very low risk' category include the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, Northern Territory, Tasmania and Victoria.

Anyone who arrives from SA into WA prior to 25 December are required to follow the rules under the ‘low risk’ category, including completing 14-days of self-quarantine.
