If you figure it out then you are a genius. Logic deserted Victoria a long time ago. Long before the Wuhan flu, Victoria was a place to leave.

I could say a lot, but I can't, except Good Luck. This place is insane. get in, if you must, and then get out.

I used to be a proud Victorian. Now? ................. Not so much.........

I know, this is NOT what you asked, but Victoria has been unexplainable for nearly 12 months. I hope you manage what you need.

Tote, I played the stupid game for both SA and WA. Got knocked back but told I could reapply, by both. Fortunately, an obliging SA policewoman phoned me, informing me of the very specific answer they wanted. Why on earth they couldn't have asked in a specific manner, has me scratching my head. I'm pleased the policewoman had more brains than the turkey who wrote the application form.
This doesn't help your situation, but I hope you find consolation in the fact that I empathise with you having to deal with moronic public servants.

I am dealing with these robots twice a day minimum. I have mum, now in hospital, 102 yo, and I have bureauhoops to jump through.

We are no longer a society, but a series of "issues" to be dealt with.

Yes. Anyone planning on entering Victoria will need a travel permit.

I need to go to Ballarat for less than 24 hours but have decided it is easier to just wait and go when it is easier to just go.

It's not that hard.

We did a quick trip(30mins) into NSW back at Christmas and the permit doodad took about 2mins. Most of that 2mins was the delay in phone reception too.

Permit site

Just input your details on page 1.
Page 2, just use the green zone option.

Set your dates, make it same, make it a day later .. makes no difference really.

Quite easy to do... even for a 'formophobe' like me!

You will get an email, print the permit, or save it to your mobile device cops want to see either style as you enter.

Heading back into NSW, you won't need to do anything. Check points are only inbound side.

It takes less than 5 minutes to apply and get approval - COVID-19 border entry

Especially like the comment at 2:16

I didnt do it with Vic but with SA/NT/QLD both ways.

I rang SA , NT and Qld police and all 3 were so helpful and Qld police told me to apply at the border if I didn't know what date I was coming through.

Funny thing , I was in the system and when I approached the Qld border , being manned by NT police , they addressed me by my christian name , knew I was coming.

So, be nice , get in the system and ask for help......thats why they are there.
