Update Details

Check updated restrictions in your area

As the situation with COVID-19 continues to change, state and territory governments respond by releasing new advice on restrictions and border movements.

To help the public find this information easily and in one place, COVIDSafe now keeps users up-to-date with the latest advice on restrictions and lockdowns for each state or territory. This information is available directly from the COVIDSafe home screen to make it easy for users to plan and respond to the latest restriction information in their area. This is the same information that is available in the Coronavirus Australia App and at Australia.gov.au.

Users can check updated restriction information on specific activities in their state or territory. For example, users can access relevant information on attending entertainment venues or sporting events. This update includes a way to check the latest advice on current COVID-19 restrictions for every state and territory, including domestic travel, gatherings and entertainment venues.
