The first signs of what quarantine will look like in Australia after the nation hits its vaccination targets have been revealed in a pilot 'at home' program launched by NSW.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced on Friday that the state will launch a four week trial to allow 175 fully-vaccinated returned travellers to self-isolate for seven days, rather than a fortnight in the hotel quarantine system.
The state's Tourism Minister Stuart Ayres said from the end of September some 30 participants a week will be chosen by NSW Health to take part in the trial.
Participants must have received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine accredited by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and will be pre-selected for home quarantine before their flight.
