Question: What is the plan for easing the COVID-19 restrictions in Australia?

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Easing of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions
section_headers: Monitoring our progress
section_content: National Cabinet will regularly review our progress. They will be closely
monitoring the situation as restrictions are eased to assess the impact of the
changes so we can move forward safely and with confidence.
As set out in the Pandemic Health Intelligence Plan endorsed by National Cabinet on 1 May 2020, they will
consider:

the pattern of disease around Australia
the capacity of our public health surveillance and testing approaches to detect and isolate cases
the readiness of our health system to respond to outbreaks while also meeting people’s ongoing health needs, and
how well people are following the health advice and abiding by the restrictions in place

This information will guide decisions on the steps each jurisdiction takes as
we make Australia COVIDSafe.
Australia is prepared for an increase in case numbers or possible outbreaks.
It may be that in some parts of the country we sometimes have to take a step
back in order to contain a local outbreak. This should be the exception rather
than the norm.
We want to avoid the uncertainty and disruption of turning restrictions off
and on again, including further health, economic and social shocks as a
result. Our continued success depends on all Australians staying COVIDSafe.
All Australians have an ongoing role to play in protecting their families, co-
workers and the most vulnerable in the community.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Easing of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions
section_headers: The 3-step framework for a COVIDSafe Australia
section_content: National Cabinet’s 3-step plan provides a pathway for states and territories to move
toward COVIDSafe communities in a way that suits their circumstances.
States and territories will move between the steps on the pathway at different
times, in line with their public health situation and local conditions.
They’ll need to maintain strong and prompt control of any outbreaks.
The plan gives Australians some certainty about what is to come in the months
ahead. In conjunction with advice released by Safe Work
Australia, it
will help our businesses make decisions about how they can operate in a
COVIDSafe way to protect their customers and workers.
For each of the major areas of restrictions we have set out 3 key
steps
between where we are now and where we want to be.

The first steps are cautious ones. It is important we do not move too quickly and risk losing the control we have achieved. Some businesses will start to reopen as we start to allow groups of up to 10 people to be together in homes and in the community. These steps help build our COVIDSafe economy, and also give us more opportunities to connect with family and friends.
The second steps in each area will build on this through larger gatherings and even more businesses reopening. As businesses take steps to ensure they are COVIDSafe, we should all feel safe and confident doing some of the things we’ve missed over the last few months. Some higher-risk settings and activities will still be tightly restricted.
The third steps are where we start to fully embrace long-term COVIDSafe ways of living and working — the arrangements that will be our ‘new normal’ while the virus remains a threat. Restrictions will be minimised. Gatherings of up to 100 people, interstate travel, growth in community sport, and the possibility of travel to New Zealand, will be underpinned by COVIDSafe practices. With everyone playing their role, we will build a COVIDSafe Australia, where lives and livelihoods are protected. It is likely some restrictions, on things like international travel and mass gatherings, will remain necessary.
