Travelling to Australia 

Updated January 2021

Fully vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and, eligible visa holders can travel to and from Australia without needing to apply for a travel exemption.

You need to comply with the federal requirements, the requirements in the state or territory of your arrival, and any other state or territories that you plan to travel to. This includes quarantine and post-arrival testing requirements. Restrictions may change at short notice.

A guide on the re-entry and quarantine measures can be found on the Smartraveller website: Re-entry and quarantine | Smartraveller

The individual state restrictions can be found here: States (australia.gov.au)
