Yesterday, premier Daniel Andrews announced a new $21 million package to get more people vaccinated.
"This funding will help to book appointments, promote existing transport operations or arrange alternatives when needed or to offer respite or occasional childcare in suburbs with low vaccine uptake," he said.
"As you have seen, we have taken this program right into local communities with pop-ups and micro pop-ups which are literally neighbourhood vaccination activity, the end of your street vaccination activity.
People in NSW who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can now travel to Victoria without needing to quarantine.
Relaxed requirements now apply to fully vaccinated travellers who have been in red or orange zones and the border bubble has been reinstated for Broken Hill and Shepparton.
From midnight Victoria scrapped red zones that applied to Greater Sydney areas so anyone who has been in Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Shellharbour and Wollongong can now enter Victoria on an orange zone permit, without any quarantine or testing.
Anyone who isn't vaccinated requires a permit, must isolate, get tested within 72 hours and stay isolated until they receive a negative COVID-19 test result.
