You should wear a face mask at the border when interacting with the border checkpoint team and must take the most direct route to your nominated self-quarantine residence. All Other States – Entering South Australia • Travellers from low community transmission zones - NT, QLD, TAS and WA are able to enter South Australia directly without restriction after applying for pre-approval online. • Travellers from ACT and NSW, other than essential travellers, will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days after entering SA. Essential Traveller Application Evidence Guide Anyone travelling into South Australia, by road or via the airport needs to complete the online cross border pre-approval form at least 72 hours prior to your arrival. This includes Essential Travellers. SAPOL has published a guide here outlining examples of evidence Essential Travellers should submit as part of their online application. Each person applying for an Essential Traveller status will also need to provide details in the short description of why they are travelling. Applicants need to include the business they work for, reasons for visiting, a summary of why they need to enter the state as an essential traveller and if necessary how often they will be travelling to the state. If someone has applied online but not yet received a response before travelling they need to take the evidence outlined in the guide in addition to a ID/Driver’s licence with them to the border checkpoint. Police will access their online application at the border using their name and ID/Driver’s licence. If someone arrives at the border and has not submitted an application online, they will be asked to do so before SAPOL assess their evidence and application at the checkpoint. Cross Border Applications and Information can be found here.
