To Our Members,

• exercise outdoors in groups of no more than 10;
• medical and caring reasons – including obtaining a COVID-19 vaccination;
• family and carer obligations and compassionate reasons, including where 2 people are in a relationship but do not necessarily live together;

 
Regional areas (outside of Greater Sydney, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour)
