Here's what you need to know today.
COVID-19 isolation ending today
Mandatory COVID-19 isolation periods end today, after a decision from national cabinet last month.
Now anyone who is infected by COVID-19 is not required by law to isolate for five days or register a positive rapid antigen test online.
There are exemptions for people who work in high-risk environments, and health officials still recommend people who are sick stay home.
Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said the decision came amid low rates of COVID-19 transmission and high vaccination rates.
"It does not in any way suggest that the pandemic is finished," he said.
"We will almost certainly see future peaks of the virus into the future, as we have seen earlier in this year."
'No body, no parole' laws pass
Convicted murderers in NSW will now be denied parole if they don't reveal the location of their victim's remains after the government's "no body no parole" laws passed parliament.
The legislation was introduced after Sydney teacher Chris Dawson was convicted for the murder of his wife Lynette Dawson on Sydney's northern beaches 40 years ago.
Lynette's remains have never been found.
Minister for Corrections Geoff Lee said the new legislation is about doing right by families and bringing them closure.
"The law is just and it is fair and it gives victims dignity and respect," he said.
The ABC understands the change will affect around six offenders currently in jail.
No body no parole provisions are already in place in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory.
Stabbing at Eastern Creek
A man was stabbed multiple times at an industrial estate in western Sydney overnight.
Paramedics found the 19-year-old with several stab wounds when they were called to Lenore Drive at Eastern Creek about 1.30am today.
The man was taken to Westmead Hospital where he is in a serious but stable condition.
Police say the stabbing was a targeted attack, but there's no ongoing risk to the community.
MMA fighters monitor brain injuries
A group of mixed martial arts fighters in NSW have become the first in the sport to test a virtual reality technology aimed at improving the management of brain injuries.
The fighters at Windang Freestyle Fighting Gym in the Illawarra took part in a series of baseline tests using technology produced by Australian Canadian company NeuroFlex.
They used a VR headset to record eye movements which help guide when it's safe for an athlete who has suffered a concussion to return to competitive sport.
Professional fighter Colby Thicknesse has suffered three concussions this year, and says he wants to make sure his brain has healed before he gets back in the ring.
"It's a lot better to have the science and the smart people around you to sort of guide you in the recovery because like I said I have suffered a few so I need to make sure I am ticking all the boxes, doing everything correctly so I don't come back too soon and suffer longer term consequences."
