Zuvele Leschen commutes 87 kilometres from her home at Buffalo River to Albury to give history lessons. On Monday when she entered her postcode into the Service NSW website for a permit she was not able to proceed.

Ms Leschen said she then contacted Service NSW and was told she could not obtain a pass.

The Service NSW website states those eligible for a permit include staff from boarding schools and universities but not high school teachers.

"I'm very frustrated and a bit despairing," Ms Leschen said of her efforts to prepare for her work return next week following school holidays.
