Border arrangements
If you are travelling from China, including Hong Kong and Macau you are required to undertake COVID-19 testing prior to your arrival. For detailed passenger information please visit the Department of Health’s website.
Unvaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents can leave and enter Australia without an individual travel exemption. Travellers entering or leaving Australia do not require a negative pre-departure test and cruise vessels can enter Australian territory.
All incoming travellers will need to comply with the testing and quarantine requirements of the state or territory of their arrival, and any other state or territory to which they plan to travel.
It is important to remember that other countries, and private airlines, vessel operators and tour companies, may have their own requirements for travellers.
Unvaccinated visa holders do not need a travel exemption to enter Australia.
