Stage one:
- Gatherings of 10 people in public places will be allowed;
- Households will be able to host five people at home;
- Local and regional travel will be permitted;
- Cafes and restaurants will be allowed to seat up to 10 patrons at a time, so long as they have four square metres of space per person;
- People will be urged to work from home “if it works for you and your employer” – a change in emphasis from the previous guidance that bosses should allow people to work from home where possible;
- Reopening of retail stores will be allowed, an increase in face-to-face learning at universities and technical colleges will be encouraged;
- Outdoor gyms, playgrounds and skate parks will reopen with a limit of 10 people at a time.
- Childcare centres and schools will be open,
- The maximum number of wedding guests will increase to 10, while funerals could have up to 20 mourners indoors and 30 outdoors. Religious gatherings may also have up to 10 attendees.

Stage Two:
- Larger gatherings will be allowed;
- More businesses reopening will be allowed, but pubs and casinos will likely remain closed.
Stage three:
- Non-work gatherings of up to 100 people will be allowed;
- Cafes, restaurants and food courts can operate with 100 seats;
- Authorities will consider opening bar areas and gaming rooms.
Now let’s look at the additional plans in each State for the current stage.
NSW:
New South Wales will start relaxing lockdown restrictions from May 15th with basically the same plan as that proposed by the Federal government, but it does not intend to follow the National Cabinet’s plan to permit local and regional travel.

VIC:
Victoria started its first stage from May 13th pursuant to the Federal plan. The Premier announced that on top of the four reasons to go out – shopping for food and supplies, care and caregiving, exercise and study or work, there is now a fifth reason – visiting friends and family. The Premier also emphasised that just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. This is about seeing those you need to – if you need to.

ACT:
The Australian Capital Territory will enter stage one from May 15th. But one thing different from the Federal plan is that indoor gathering of 10 people will be allowed.
