Queensland
Anyone who arrives in Queensland from Victoria after 1am on Friday will be required to undergo a mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine.
People who are already in Queensland and have travelled to Victoria since 11 May will be subject to the same lockdown conditions as Victorian residents, who are only able to leave their home to purchase essential supplies, exercise, receive or give care, authorised work, and to get vaccinated.
NSW
NSW has so far stopped short of introducing a hard border closure with Victoria, but Premier Gladys Berejiklian made it clear people in lockdown should not be travelling interstate.
Anyone travelling to NSW from Victoria after 4pm on Thursday would also be subject to the same stay-at-home order, health authorities said.

Victorians will be plunged into a week-long lockdown from 11.59pm Thursday as the state government scrambles to contain a COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne’s north.
Face masks will be mandatory in both indoor and outdoor settings, except for at home.
Schools will also close and move to remote learning, except to care for the children of essential workers, but childcare will remain open.
Supermarkets and essential services like pharmacies, petrol stations and banks will remain open but restaurants, pubs and cafes will be limited to take-away.

Health officials have also released a report which suggests aerosol transmission may have caused an infection in a Victorian man in Adelaide hotel quarantine, which ultimately sparked the Melbourne outbreak.
With 15 confirmed infections in Melbourne, SA will only allow essential workers and returning South Australians to cross the border, but they must get three virus tests and isolate for 14 days.
Anybody from Greater Melbourne who travelled to SA since 20 May must also get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result. Our thoughts are with everybody in Melbourne. Any outbreak is something we need to take extraordinarily serious, Premier Steven Marshall said.
