The Northern Territory Government revoked regional Victoria's hotspot status today, however Greater Melbourne is still on the watch list.
On October 23, Chief Minister Michael Gunner indicated Mitchell Shire and Melbourne would remain as declared hotspots.
Regional Victorians who transit via plane through Melbourne airport will be permitted into the territory without quarantining.
However they must not stop or spend time in the greater Melbourne region outside the airport.
The South Australian Government website has also declared regional Victorians can drive to the Northern Territory via South Australia.
The website confirmed people could travel through South Australia to reach another state, "provided they will be allowed entry into that state on arrival".
The NT is looking to open its borders to the rest of the state before Christmas.
Meanwhile New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced today it could be "weeks, not months" before the Victorian-NSW border is removed.
Ms Berejiklian said it would all depend on how Victoria is impacted by eased restrictions from next Monday.
However, if there isn't a spike in locally acquired coronavirus cases in the 14 days following the loosened restrictions, she said she would consider opening the border.
Further north, all Australians - except those from Greater Sydney and Victoria - will be allowed to enter Queensland from tomorrow.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, who was re-elected at Saturday's election, said measures barring Victorians would be reviewed at the end of the month.
West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has announced his state's hard border would be removed from November 14.
But travellers from NSW and Victoria will still need to quarantine for two weeks.
And in South Australia, officials have said their hard borders may not be eased until up to four weeks pass without community transmission cases in Victoria.
As for Tasmania, authorities said they would prefer to open to all of Victoria when community transmission is under control in metropolitan Melbourne.
But according to Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt, Australia should be well placed to lift internal borders by Christmas.
Victoria recorded zero new COVID-19 cases for the third day in the row yesterday, and no deaths.
There were just 49 active cases of the virus across the entire state, down from 61 on Sunday.
The 14-day average for Melbourne has slid to 1.9, while regional Victoria's remains at zero.
