a coupe of months later (June?) quarantine becomes home quarantine and/or reduced for people who can show they have been vaccinated with one of the approved vaccines (one of the approved Aussie ones, Pfizer, moderna, AstraZeneca by then, and in accordance with the Australian evidence standard which we assume is implemented). State border closures can no longer be justified (if they ever were)
Crew are still required to follow strict Covid rules while away, but no restrictions on return.
at some point (sep?) nobody enters the country without an approved vaccine.
crew allowed normal behaviours on trips, and no quarantine on return.
That's a pretty fair guess I reckon. It'll be a staggered return in any case. I think the big change will be when herd immunity is reached, last's year's flu vaccine got to 60% before winter, no reason with a free vaccine and a massive public relations campaign Covid vax couldn't be done sooner or wider.
