We welcome visitors to the Riverina (subject to any public health orders and border restrictions that may be in place), but remind everyone that social distancing measures remain in place, and to practice good hand hygiene. Wear a mask to protect yourself and others.

Visitors are encouraged to book in advance to avoid disappointment. Please also be aware that some attractions and businesses may be operating under changed conditions or have different operating hours to normal.

Each state or territory has its own entry requirements and travel restrictions. You must comply with any border rules of the state or territory you are entering or leaving.

If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, even if mild and you are fully vaccinated, use a rapid antigen test immediately and self-isolate to protect vulnerable community members.

For information on how to protect yourself and others against COVID-19, please follow Australian Health expert advice and for the latest health information go to www.health.gov.au.
