Victoria’s proposed COVID-19 quarantine facility is dependent on federal funding and won’t be ready until the end of the year.

The state government has confirmed the preferred site for the facility will be next to the Mickleham post-entry pet quarantine centre, a commonwealth site about 40km north of Melbourne.
