NSW-Victoria Border Opens Up

What a relief! The border between NSW and Victoria will reopen on Monday, November 1.

NSW State MP for Murray Helen Dalton said an easing of the border rules would be a massive relief for long-struggling businesses and families in regional NSW.

“The NSW-Victoria border will essentially be open for vaccinated residents from November 1,” Mrs Dalton said.

“Families can reunite, people can go on holiday and long-suffering hospitality businesses will finally be able to accept customers from both sides of the Murray.

“We’ve been advised that there will be no need for testing, isolating or declaration forms.”

Mrs Dalton said many across Southern NSW had struggled for 18 months.

“So many in regional NSW are dependent on Victoria for health services and for business,” she said.

“The NSW Government said vaccinated NSW residents returning from Victoria would no longer have to self-isolate from November 1 onwards.

“So, after 18 months of pain, we will see some relief.

“I was very concerned border communities were being left off the COVID-19 Road Map.

“Mildura MP, Ali Cupper, Mayor Jason Modica and Wentworth Mayor, Sue Nicols joined me in raising our concerns last month.

“I’d like to thank them for all their advocacy, and express my gratitude to all those constituents who have been writing to Ministers requesting an easing of border rules.”
