All New South Wales residents are allowed to travel for leisure anywhere in the state and the state has its borders open to everyone else in Australia.
Depiste this freedom of movement, you will still need to practise physical distancing. A mandate is also in place for Greater Sydney, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast that requires you to wear a face mask indoors during certain circumstances. This includes at the supermarket, retail outlets, on public transport, at places of worship and at hair and beauty salons.
If you have visited any locations where cases have arisen you must self-isolate and get tested for coronavirus.
Across Greater Sydney and the Northern Beaches is a 5-person visitor limit per household, including children under 12.
Western Australia has its border closed. The rest of Australia has closed its borders to select regions of the Northern Beaches and Greater Sydney.
We're covering what else you need to know for travelling throughout New South Wales in this guide.
Overnight recreational stays are allowed within the state. This includes both stays at family and friends' properties and at paid accommodation, like hotels and Airbnbs.
Yes. You can invite as many visitors per day over to your home, as long as there aren't more than 5 people over at one given time.
This 5-person limit also applies to overnight stays until further notice.
It's recommended if you're vulnerable (for example, immunocompromised) or older than 70 that you should limit the number of overnight guests even further.
Under the latest recommendations by the New South Wales government, there are no restrictions to paid accommodation at hotels unless you're in a locked down area. Across the state, you can check in as a leisure traveller. However, there may be some changes to check-in and fewer amenities will be available at the hotel.
You can book into and stay at a New South Wales hotel if you are coming from another state, but you may need to quarantine or self-isolate upon arrival back home as per the regulations of your state.
Some hotels, especially in Sydney, are still being used as quarantine hotels for people returning from overseas.

Holiday home groups are limited to a maximum of 10 people for overnight stays.
Hostels are taking in guests with physical distancing measures in place.
For example, the YHA chain has limited the occupancy in shared dorm rooms. It's offering more sanitisation stations, especially in shared spaces like bathrooms and kitchens.
Base Hostels allows guests to check in with their phone using an app.At all hostels physical distancing should be practised.
There's no limit to how many people can stay at a campground, but you will need to practise physical distancing with other campers.
There is a maximum of 5 people per camping party.
In New South Wales you can use shared barbeque and kitchen facilities as long as there is space of at least four square metres per person.
If you're planning a camping trip to a New South Wales national park you may need to reserve a spot in advance – even if it's to a campground that has been free in the past.
Popular attractions across the state are permitted to operate with COVIDSafe plans in place. This includes zoos, aquariums, museums and galleries.
To help make it easier to find available activities, RedBalloon has added a "Now Open" tag to its experiences.

Most NSW National Parks are open to recreational visits, including camp sites within the parks. Camp sites need to be pre-booked for overnight stays.
A few parks may be closed for safety reasons or to regenerate. Confirm on the NSW National Parks website before heading out to avoid disappointment.
The opening status of beaches and local parks depends on the local council. Before you hit the surf check the local council website to make sure you won't have to turn back.
If the beach is open, you should practise the state's physical distancing restrictions. Stay in groups of 10 people or less and make sure there's at least 1.5m distance from you to the next group of people.
The ski season has ended for 2020. Major ski fields did open for a short period. Details below:
Due to COVID-19, this year the ski fields opened a little late. The season opening dates were as follows:
There were limited tickets available this year, which had to be pre-purchased to ensure no overcrowding. Group lessons were cancelled at Perisher and Thredbo.
There are no limitations when driving your own vehicle. Generally you can go anywhere within the state unless you're in a locked down area, in which case you must stay at home unless you're out for essential reasons.
These 10 road trips take you along the state's most beautiful and unique landscapes.
If you're hiring a car, there may be additional protocols due to COVID-19 in place, including when you can pick up and drop off your vehicle.
For example, Europcar has a zero-contact policy where the car keys will be disinfected and put into a sealed envelope.
Due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in NSW, ACT Health has advised that anyone who has travelled to a NSW hotspot should not work or visit high-risk settings for 14 days upon their return. Anyone entering the territory from NSW will not have to quarantine unless you are showing symptoms of COVID-19.
Yes. There are no coronavirus-related restrictions on who can book flights within the state or to Canberra. So if you're hoping to take off to Byron Bay, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra or any other destination in New South Wales, you can.
Bear in mind that if you are travelling to the ACT from Greater Sydney, the Central Coast, Northern Beaches or Wollongong that you must quarantine upon arrival for 14 days.
Qantas and Virgin Australia are offering flexible bookings for travel until March 2021.
Extra safety measures are in place when flying. For example, Jetstar asks passengers to limit movement around the plane cabin and is offering all passengers masks and sanitising wipes to clean the seat belt, trays and armrests. These are offered for added comfort but aren't mandatory to use.
As of 8 January 2021, face masks are mandatory on all domestic and international flights.
As long as the services are still running, you can travel by coach between cities:
City rail services: The government is urging travellers not to use public transport during peak hour to more easily allow for physical distancing.
There are green "Sit here" and "Stand here" stickers on trains to identify where to sit so passengers are safely spread out within carriages.
Regional services: NSW TrainLink trains running between NSW and Queensland recommenced at 1am on 1 December 2020. Food services on board trains may be operating with some changes. For example, water fountains won't be available and only pre-packaged food items will be served.
Due to the Northern Beaches cluster, a Border Crossing Permit is required by Sydney-siders to enter Queensland. Anyone who has been to a hotspot must apply for an exemption to enter Queensland and quarantine in a hotel at their own expense for 14 days upon arrival.
The Great Southern rail journey which travels from Brisbane to Adelaide via NSW, ACT and Victoria is suspended until January 2021.
Many state and territory borders have closed to select NSW residents due to the Northern Beaches cluster. Western Australia and South Australia have closed their borders to New South Wales.

Yes. New South Wales is open to travellers from outside the state. If you are arriving from another state you may be required to quarantine or self-isolate when you return. Check with your state government's regulations before booking.
If you're all staying in the same accommodation, including campsites, you'll need to travel in groups of 5 people or less. If you normally live in a household with more than 5 people, you can travel with your household group.
