Hi,

There is no permit required to fly PER-SYD. NSW is still open.
I was in the terminal last week and there was a sign at the 1 open Cafe saying "No food on the flight. Last chance here". Don't know if it was a marketing ploy or actually true.
the day I was there the SYD flight left at 13.20 so there would have been time to get an early lunch before heading to the airport.
Cheers
FF

There is currently a ban on all overseas travel from Australia, with few exceptions.

However, conversely, Australians who normally do live overseas can come and go as they please, subject to restrictions in travelling from their home countries, provided they can deal with 14 day isolation requirements when they arrive in Australia, and potentially when they return to their normal country of residence overseas as well.

Would someone on a student visa be considered a resident for this purpose?

OTOH, if someone is a continuing student in a country other than where e person is a citizen, IMO it would definitely be wise to stay in the country where the person is studying. Returning home even if one has a multiple entry student visa constitutes an enormous risk in the current situation.

Australian citizens and residents can arrive into Australia but definitely not come and go as they please, regardless of where they normally live. Temporary residents (for example student visa holders) can leave anytime but not re-enter. Exemptions apply, but you'll need a very good reason to travel.

I assume, before your leave, some form of proof you are not resident in Australia ( I will be using my foreign identity card and apartment lease) will be required, although they could pull your immigration records to look at amount of time spent in Australia. In theory (i.e. the way the requirements are written) , this means Australian citizens who are foreign residents could come and go as they please. In practice though it will not mean that. Apart from being frowned upon (and potential for questioning whether the citizen is really a foreign resident), it is not really practical anyway with isolation requirements and restrictions imposed by many foreign countries on their residents travelling outside the country.
