A ban on overseas travel is currently in place. You won't be able to depart Australia to travel overseas, with few exceptions.
If you’re trying to get home, and can still book commercial flights, do so as soon as possible.
If you're staying where you are, make plans to remain for an extended period. Ensure you have a safe place to stay, follow the advice of local authorities and minimise your risk of exposure to COVID-19. Stay in touch with family and friends so they know you're safe.
Our network of embassies and consular posts around the world will provide you with up to date local advice and support throughout this difficult period. We also encourage you to subscribe to Smartraveller for the latest advice.
