Tasmania is likely to bring forward its planned reopening to Victoria by several days amid the mainland state's positive coronavirus results.
The island state was scheduled to drop its border restrictions with Victoria on December 1 but is now aiming for November 27.
"Victoria is our closest neighbour and home to so many of our friends and family. It's been hard for many people, I have family in Victoria as well," Premier Peter Gutwein told parliament on Wednesday.
Victoria has gone 12 days without recording a case, something Mr Gutwein said was an "outstanding result".
"If Victoria's circumstance remains similar to where it is at the moment ... the expectation is in two weeks from Friday, we will be able to fully ease our border restrictions," he said.
A further update is expected at the end of next week.
From Friday, Victorians arriving in Tasmania will be allowed to quarantine at home or a designated residence rather than government-run hotels.
The island state has gone more than 90 days without recording a new case.
It is open to all of Australia bar Victoria after easing restrictions with NSW earlier in November.
