For example, I have a sibling with a self-contained granny flat where I could quarrantine.
They're the ones that make it into the news, not the only ones.

If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions unless you have an exemption.
...You are exempt if you are:
- ordinarily resident in a country other than Australia

ETA: I'd be very surprised if the outbound travel restrictions are still around in January. I think they'll be lifted in the next month or so.
