We know border restrictions are difficult for families and businesses and that’s why we never leave restrictions in place one day longer than we need to.
From 12.01 am on Sunday 17th January, people coming into South Australia from Greater Brisbane will no longer be required to quarantine.
For people arriving from Greater Brisbane before 12.01 am on Wednesday 20th January, a COVID-19 test will still be required on days 1, 5 and 12. This requirement will be removed for people who arrive on or after 12.01 am on Wednesday 20th January.
If you are currently in quarantine because you came to South Australia from Greater Brisbane on or after the 9th January, you will be able to come out.
This means, from Sunday, South Australia will be completely open to Queensland once again.
Thank you to everyone who has worked with us as we follow the expert health advice and keep South Australia safe and strong.
The unfolding situation in Queensland has prompted the Greater Brisbane region to be declared a hotspot.
Greater Brisbane will go into lockdown for three days, while contact tracers work to ensure the UK strain of COVID-19 is not circulating in the community.
As a result, from midnight tonight, people arriving who have been in the Greater Brisbane region will be required to quarantine for 14 days.
Furthermore, anyone in South Australia who has been in the Greater Brisbane region since 2 January will be required to get a COVID-19 test immediately and again in 5 days.
Travel to and from Queensland should be reconsidered as further restrictions may be imposed at short notice.
We know the UK strain is particularly virulent and we need to act fast to protect the health and safety of South Australians.
Back bigger and better.
From 11am ACDT tomorrow, a second round of Great State vouchers will be available - this time, open to all Australians.
People will have more choice and flexibility about where and when to book their stay with a longer time to travel and a greater range of accommodation providers on offer.
The first round of vouchers injected $10 million into our state’s economy, with tens of thousands of discounted room night bookings.
To have your chance to secure a voucher visit southaustralia.com/voucher from 11am tomorrow.
The booking period runs from 7 to 31 January, for travel from 7 January to 31 March 2021 inclusive (excluding Saturday nights).
Was pretty hard trying to get on the site to take advantage of this
Due to the changing situation in New South Wales, we will be enforcing a hard border from midnight tonight .
This means that only South Australians returning from NSW will be allowed to enter, as well as people permanently relocating to SA. They will be required to self isolate in an appropriate location for 14 days.
In addition there will be Essential Travellers who will be permitted to enter, including cross border community members.
A 100km buffer arrangement will be in place for cross border communities including Wentworth and Broken Hill.
It's essential that ALL travellers complete the Cross Border Travel application before they travel into South Australia.
More information on the latest COVID-19 Direction will be available soon.
As 2020 comes to an end, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and look forward to a prosperous 2021.
My Port Lincoln and Ceduna electorate offices will be closed as of today, and re-open on January 18.

From 1 March 2021, single-use plastics will be BANNED in South Australia.
This is a huge win for our environment and the community!
What this means is that the sale, supply and distribution of single-use plastics like straws, cutlery and beverage stirrers will be banned, with the potential for more items to be added in the future.
We are supporting businesses to become more sustainable and have set up a hotline to guide them through the changes 📱 1800 844 946
I think we need to look first at the packaging in supermarkets, huge problem there and then government has to provide services to dispose of it all.
