The Australian Government has announced the Biosecurity Emergency Determination relating to COVID-19 will not be renewed when it expires on 17 April 2022.
From 18 April, you won’t need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test to enter Australia, prior to boarding your flight.
Restrictions on the entry of cruise vessels into and within Australian territory will also lapse.
When leaving, or travelling to, Australia you’ll still be required to
- provide proof of double vaccination against COVID-19
- wear a mask in airports and on board international flights.
These measures will be implemented under non-emergency provisions of the Biosecurity Act.
Foreign governments, airlines and Australian states and territories may have different vaccination and testing requirements to Australia. Before you travel
- check the state and territory requirements for inbound travellers
- contact your airline to confirm their policies on vaccination and testing
- read the travel advice for your destination and transit locations.
