We've taken a look at how their strategies compare - and what people can and can't do.

The ACT has allowed a maximum of 10 people in at indoor and outdoor gatherings since May 15. This limit includes events at households, outdoor boot camps and open houses and auctions. Restaurants and cafes are permitted to seat 10 customers at one time. Weddings can now have 10 people attend excluding the celebrant.

Indoor funerals can have up to 20 people in attendance or outdoor funerals can have 30 people in attendance. This does not include the person conducting the funeral. Weddings can now have up to 10 guests attend, excluding celebrants.

Places of worship can now accommodate 10 people excluding those running the service.

ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said restrictions for the ACT would be reassessed on May 29.

"We would make these changes approximately every three to four weeks depending on what we were seeing in our local community in regards to COVID-19."

Like the ACT, NSW has allowed public gatherings of up to 10 people. Restaurants and cafes are open and have been able to seat up to 10 customers since May 15. NSW has the same restrictions on funerals as the ACT, 20 for indoor and 30 for outdoor funerals. Ten people can attend a place of worship.

Up to five visitors can visit another household at any one time. Weddings can now have up to 10 guests. This limit does not include the couple, the celebrant or staff assisting the wedding.

On Wednesday, NSW Premier Gladys Berijikilan announced that from June 1 there will be no travel restrictions within NSW, but she urged those who chose to travel to take care.

Cultural institutions such as libraries and art galleries will also reopen on June 1.

The state of emergency in Victoria has been extended to May 31.

Victorians are now able to have up to five guests at their household. Ten guests are allowed at weddings and 20 are allowed at funerals.

Restaurants and cafes are still not able to have table service. Victoria has, however, created a roadmap for the reopening of bars and cafes. From June 1 up to 20 people can be inside a bar, from June 22, up to 50 people. The Victorian government estimates that from mid-July restaurants and cafes can accommodate up to 100 people.

After outbreaks of COVID-19 cases among McDonald's workers, Premier Daniel Andrews on Monday encouraged Victorians to continue to work from home if they can.

"If everyone goes back to pressing lift buttons, sharing bathrooms, using kitchens - then we will do nothing but spread the virus," he said.

On Wednesday Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said that the Queensland's borders could stay closed until September. Queensland will reassess the border closure on a monthly basis.

In response to concerns about the health of Queensland's tourism industry, Premier Palaszczcuk said "tourism will always survive here in Queensland."
