OVERVIEW

The Queensland border is open to all states and territories, except NSW.

Unfortunately, Greater Sydney was declared a coronavirus hotspot from 1:00am Monday 21st December and  Queensland's borders were closed to all residents of Sydney from that time.

Queenslanders arriving home after 1:00am on Tuesday must get tested and go into mandatory hotel quarantine for 14 days at their own expense.

People who have been to other parts of NSW must apply for a Queensland Border Declaration Pass before they enter Queensland.

A more contagious strain of Covid -19 has been diagnosed in Brisbane. Authorities have taken steps to ensure the spread of this new variety is minimized.
On Friday 8th the National Cabinet met with the  Prime Minister and passed a new ruling regarding wearing masks. See Covid-19 Safe notes below for Exemplar ramifications.

BE COVID-19 SAFE

We are fully compliant and have recently received formal certification from the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC). 

As a consequence of the discovery of the new virus strain it is now mandatory that:

•    All passengers and staff on domestic flights must wear a mask.
•    Persons in the terminal must wear a mask.

Also, as of Saturday 9th Jan, Exemplar management has made it also mandatory for all drivers to wear masks in our vehicles and when in close contact with passengers.

Social distancing and regular, thorough cleaning underpin our operations continues. Exemplar's procedures are here.

If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (coughing, fever, headache, breathing difficulties etc.), please postpone your trip.
