NSW travellers entering WA must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination under tighter border rules

Western Australia is further tightening its border restrictions for people arriving from New South Wales, requiring they show proof of having had least one COVID-19 vaccination.

Key points:

WA becomes the first jurisdiction to ask travellers for proof of vaccination

The new border rules will affect high or extreme risk states and territories

Mark McGowan says the tough measures are needed to protect WA

Under the new restrictions, due to take effect next Tuesday, travellers will also need to prove a negative coronavirus test result from the previous 72 hours.
