> 2. Quarantine at home with police visits

Is this an official option, or do you have to install the app then turn your phone off, with the potential of this turning to 1 if they don't like you doing that too often?

I believe this is an official option, at least in WA where there is already an app, it's up to you which option to take.

AFAICT there is no "we're sick of visiting you, off to a quarantine centre" potential at all, effectively you're doing them a favour by using the app, the default would be police visits.

Unless you're found to have breached quarantine the conditions I guess. Not sure what happens then.
