Public Health OrdersAre you having difficulty understanding the Public Health Orders issued by the NSW Government in regards to COVID-19?

The public health orders provides information on restrictions in place to respond the current health crisis (COVID-19). In the latest Public Health Order, The NSW Minister for Health has outlined that a person must not, without reasonable excuse, leave their place of residence. The Order outlines that a holiday to a regional area is not considered a reasonable excuse as this is classified as non-essential travel.

Commercial accommodation properties can accommodate people under exceptional circumstances including:

  • Domestic violence 
  • No permanent place of residence
  • Travel for work purposes
  • Primary residence is not available
  • Self isolation
  • Cannot return home due to other members of the household being unwell
