People who live alone are allowed to nominate only one person to build a social bubble with.
To visit a singles bubble buddy, you can only travel up to 5 kilometers from your residence.
If a single individual lives in one of the 12 hotspot LGAs (Canterbury-Bankstown, Fairfield, Blacktown, Cumberland, Parramatta, Georges River, Liverpool, Strathfield, Penrith, Burwood, or Bayside), the person they nominate must also live in that LGA.
Residents of these hotspot LGAs must also register their singles bubble buddy with authorities via the Service NSW website from Saturday, August 21. From August 21, the registration form will be available online.
The selected individual can pay a visit to their single buddy in their house, but their single friend cannot pay them a visit unless they are also single and thus build a shared social bubble.
A single individual's nominated person with whom they establish a social bubble cannot be changed, so choose wisely. They should ideally be a close friend or family member.
