Visitors from most states and territories can travel to Tasmania without having to quarantine, with the island state opening its borders for the first time in seven months.
From Monday, those arriving from the low-risk jurisdictions of Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT, plus New Zealand, no longer have to self-isolate as a precaution against coronavirus.
Tasmania was the first state or territory in Australia to close its borders in March and has gone more than 70 days without recording a new case.
The state remains closed to Victoria but may open to NSW on November 2, with a firm call on that date likely to be made this week.
Two flights from Brisbane and one from Adelaide touched down at Hobart Airport on Monday.
Hobart Airport chief executive Matt Cocker said the three planes were virtually booked out.
"Everyone is excited to see this day come. We've moved through the doldrums, we're looking forward to receiving passengers," he told reporters.
All arrivals at airports and sea ports will be given health screenings and have their temperatures checked.
Anyone with virus symptoms will be tested and ordered into quarantine until their result is known.
Premier Peter Gutwein assured Tasmanians the state was ready for interstate visitors.
""We've done the work, we're ready, we're safe, we're prepared," he said.
"Tasmanians can be comforted by the fact we have the necessary procedures in place to ensure we can deal a rapid response should COVID bubble up."
The Spirit of Tasmania Bass Strait ferry service, which leaves from Melbourne, will resume, but only to people coming from low-risk mainland states. They're only allowed to stop for fuel in Victoria.
Those on the island state are being urged to maintain social distancing and good personal hygiene.
People arriving from low-risk states must first register on an online system.
