New South Wales (NSW) will begin trialling home quarantine for international arrivals at the end of this month as the state gets ready to open up after a prolonged COVID-19 lockdown.

The pilot program will consist of 175 people, including 50 Qantas aircrew, who have received two doses of a TGA-accredited vaccine.
