The Commonwealth and Territory Governments are implementing restrictions on travel to communities from 11.59pm tonight (26th March 2020). This means anybody entering a remote community or designated area for non-essential purposes will need to self-quarantine for 14 days first, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread to the community. See the full Media Release from the Minister for Health Greg Hunt here.
For people that wish to return to community, please urgently contact the relevant group in your area:
