Update: New border restrictions will come into effect from 11:59pm 31 December.

If you have visited the Blue Mountains or Wollongong regions from 27 December, you have until then to return to Victoria.

Thread ⤵️
Green Zone permits that were issued for the Blue Mountains & Wollongong are no longer valid. You must apply for a new travel permit through Service Victoria, get tested within 24hrs of returning to Victoria, & self-quarantine at home for 14 days from when you last left the region
Victoria’s border with New South Wales remains closed and no one who has been in the Northern Beaches area, Greater Sydney, and the NSW Central Coast can enter.
The rest of regional NSW is designated as a “green zone.” If you hold a Green Zone permit, your permit is still valid and you will not be required to apply for a new permit.
Residents in border communities do not require a permit, however you must travel with your driver’s licence or other valid photo ID with your address details.
The red zone may continue to change at short notice – Victorians are strongly advised not to travel to New South Wales as you may not be able to re-enter without undertaking hotel quarantine for 14 days. We urge anyone with symptoms to get tested. dhhs.vic.gov.au/getting-tested

Getting a pic with Saint Nick is going to be a little different this year. Father Christmas may look a sprightly young fellow but he’s actually in an at-risk group for coronavirus (COVID-19). On top of that he comes into contact with hundreds of people every day. (1/4) Image
To protect him, and the people he comes into contact with, here’s what you need to know about getting this year’s photo:
🎅Many venues require a pre-booking so check with your local shopping centre beforehand. (2/4)
🎅Physical contact is not allowed this year, so you’ll need to stay 1.5 metres from Santa, his helpers and from other people in the queue.
🎅You can take off your mask for the photo with Santa, but please remember to keep it on at all other times. (3/4)

We acknowledge the stress and the worry that people have experienced during the public housing restrictions.

In the last few days Victorians have been showing us that they care about their neighbours. You have been reaching out with your concerns and offering help.
(1/5)
Now we’re reaching out and asking that you help us help them. We need to get messages to people in public housing quickly. We have people sharing the information onsite - but can you help on social media? Are you in a Facebook group with members of these communities? (2/5)
Do you follow them on Instagram? Can you reply to a tweet?
Here’s what we need to share with them:
ℹ️ Testing for coronavirus (COVID19) will be completed tonight, and results will be communicated soon
