Victoria will transition from a ‘medium risk’ state to a ‘low risk’ state from 6.00pm, Friday 11 June, following the latest public health advice.
Under the low risk category, all travellers who have been in Victoria or have travelled through Victoria can enter WA subject to the following strict conditions.
All travellers:
- must complete 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
- self-quarantine for 14 days in a suitable premises
- present for a COVID-19 test on day 11.
Arrivals entering WA at Perth Airport:
- are to undergo a health screening and temperature test on arrival; and
- 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).
Arrivals entering WA by land:
- are to be met at the border checkpoint for a health screening and to have their G2G PASS declaration checked before proceeding to a self-quarantine premise.
The transition is being made on WA’s expert health advice that there have been no new community cases since 9 June and as a result, Victoria currently has less than five community cases per day on a 5 and 14-day rolling average.
The WA Chief Health Officer will continue to monitor and review border controls and should there be significant changes in the public health situation.
WA's border arrangements are enacted under the Emergency Management Act and failure to follow these directions will be enforceable by law, with penalties ranging from $1,000 infringements to up to $50,000 fines for individuals.
