Free travel within NSW as international borders come down.
Travel between Sydney and the NSW regions is no longer restricted, vaccinated international arrivals no longer need to quarantine in NSW, and adults can now get a booster shot, on a landmark day for the state's COVID-19 response.
From Monday, fully vaccinated people no longer need a reasonable excuse to leave or enter Greater Sydney.
The lifting of intrastrate travel restrictions will see families reunited for the first time in months and the return of regional tourism.
"For the first time in a long time, grandparents will be able to visit grandkids ... many people will be reunited," Premier Dominic Perrottet said on Sunday.
He's confident it's a safe time to allow Sydneysiders back into the rest of the state, with vaccination coverage now nearing 88 per cent.
Of NSW residents aged over 16, 83.6 per cent had received a first dose and 87.7 per cent were fully vaccinated by Saturday.
In another major shift, international travellers who've received two doses of a recognised jab will no longer have to quarantine when they arrive in NSW, in a hotel or at home.
Australians also no longer need permission to leave the country.
