Queensland’s updated border pass system will take effect at 1am tomorrow.

The new ‘traffic light’ system, which resembles Victoria’s, issues visitors with a green, amber, or red pass.

Green passes allow for free entry, amber passes are given to visitors who have been to an interstate exposure site and must quarantine, and red passes are for visitors who have been in a hotspot. Queensland residents will be the only ‘red pass’ holders with permission to enter the state.

Queensland Health says the form takes only three minutes to complete.
