From 11:59pm tonight (2 May), an amendment order removes the requirement for people currently permitted to arrive via the maritime border to do so without needing to quarantine or isolate for 7 days.

Crew scheduled to disembark their ship will need to undergo a COVID-19/Rapid Antigen Test before disembarking. This test will be referred to as Day 0/1 test.

If the crew member is still in the community or is planning to disembark the ship again more than 120 hours after their first test, they will be required to complete a second test (a Day 5/6 test).

In some instances, maritime crew may still be required to isolate on board a ship: For example, if they test positive for COVID-19, or if they are considered a ‘household contact’ of a positive case.
