Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the ease of restrictions comes as a result of no community transmission as well as quarantine and frontline workers now receiving their second vaccinations.
Ms Berejiklian said it is still important that people check in at venues, remain socially distanced and get tested if they experience even the mildest of symptoms.
