Important information for new arrivals into Australia is available here: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/recent-vaccinated-arrivalsguidelines.aspx
You must take a Rapid Antigen Test (the type of COVID test you can do yourself) within 24 hours of arriving in NSW (either at the airport or when you arrive at your accommodation).
It is recommended that you bring a test with you from your home/transit country, but you should check that it meets Australian requirements here: https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-rapid-antigenself-tests-are-approved-australia. It may not be possible to buy a Rapid Antigen Test at the airport and you may have to buy one from a supermarket or pharmacy after arrival at your accommodation.
If you are going to take the test once at your accommodation, you should travel there by private transport, wearing a mask at all times. Once there you should take a Rapid Antigen Test. You can leave your accommodation only to buy a Rapid Antigen test.
If the test is negative you do not need to self-isolate. However, you should watch carefully for symptoms of COVID-19 for the first two weeks after arriving in NSW, and if symptoms occur, immediately have a rapid antigen test.
If the test is positive you must:
• self-isolate for 7 days
• contact SELC*. Call us on 9267 5688 or email us info@elc.edu.au/vocational
• register your positive test result with NSW health
