With the long weekend almost here, Scott Morrison’s message to all Australians is to Stay Home.

But with different rules for each state, it has left many people scratching their heads over what is and isn’t allowed.

Each state’s police department is responsible for overseeing social distancing rules so fines will be left up to the officers.

Can I see friends? 

All states allow two people to meet in public for the purpose of exercise if they keep a 1.5 metre distance. 

NSW: In most cases, no. NSW Police said on Facebook on Tuesday “visiting family/friends over the Easter break to socialise is NOT a reasonable excuse.” People who are providing care for a family member at another home are allowed.

VIC: No, social visits are not permitted. 

QLD: Yes, but this is limited to two other people who are not in your home as long as social distancing measures are being taken.

WA: Yes, indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to two people, excluding household members.

SA: Yes, although it is strongly discouraged for groups larger than two to meet. A gathering must include less than 10 people. 

NT: Yes, the Northern Territory does not have a set number of people that are allowed to meet, as long as it is a small group. 

TAS: No, you cannot visit another household for a “social visit”.

Can I have a friend over if I live alone?

NSW and VIC: No, social visits are not allowed. Two people can meet in public if they are exercising and maintain a 1.5 metre distance. 

QLD: Yes, premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said this week residents can have social guests, but no more than two people at a time. 

WA: Yes, indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to two people, excluding household members.

SA: Yes, but social distancing is encouraged. 

NT: Yes, but the number of guests should be limited. 

TAS: Yes, but only two people are allowed at a time and the reasoning must fall under “compassionate and social support,” such as mental health issues, a death or family violence.

Can I see my parents? 

NSW: In most cases, no. NSW Police said on Facebook on Tuesday “visiting family/friends over the Easter break to socialise is NOT a reasonable excuse.” People who are providing care for a family member at another home are allowed.

VIC: No, not unless it is for “compassionate reasons”.

QLD: Yes, as previously stated, residents can have two guests at one time but visiting someone else’s house should be restricted to only when is necessary.
