All Covid-19 Border Restrictions in Australia Have Been Lifted!

After nearly two years of international travel bans, Australia is finally back in business!

Starting from 6 July 2022, travelling to The Land Down Under has become easier as international travellers will no longer have to complete a Digital Passenger Declaration (DPD) and declare their vaccination status.

We’ve missed Australia’s stunning beaches, coffee culture, and magical natural wonders.

Here’s everything you need to know about Australia’s entry requirements, but do keep in mind that each state and territory has its own entry requirements that you’ll need to comply with.

*Disclaimer: Do note that entry requirements and quarantine information are subject to change. The information that’s published here is accurate at the time of writing. We highly advise you to do your own research before planning your trip!

Who can travel to Australia?

Anyone can travel to Australia as long as they meet Australia’s definition of fully vaccinated for international travel purposes, or if you’ve been granted an individual travel exemption.
