COVID-19 - Information

From 18 April 2022, travellers to Australia will no longer be required to undertake a COVID-19 pre-departure test before boarding their flight. These changes will come into effect from 18 April 2022. Until that time all current pre-departure testing will remain in place.

Travellers are reminded that it is your responsibility to ensure you meet the health requirements of the airline you are travelling with and any countries you transit through.

You need to comply with the requirements in the state or territory of your arrival, and any other states or territories that you plan on travelling to. Individual state and territory restrictions can be found here: https://www.australia.gov.au/states.

Unvaccinated visa holders will still need a valid travel exemption to enter Australia.

Restrictions may change at short notice.
