Australian government decided not to accept anybody arriving to Australia unless he’s an Australian citizen, permanent resident or in an exempt category.
The Department of Home Affairs looks after this entry ban. Check its Coming to Australia page for more information, including details on exemptions to the ban.
When you arrive in Australia, you must quarantine for 14 days at designated facilities in your port of arrival.
- You’ll be accommodated in a hotel for this mandatory quarantine period.
- You won’t be permitted to travel domestically (including to your home) or continue on any domestic connections until you have completed the 14-day mandatory quarantine period.
- In some states and territories, you have to contribute to the cost of quarantine.
- Under the Biosecurity Act 2015 and applicable state legislation, you’ll have to remain in the allocated accommodation until you’re medically cleared to enter the Australian community. You may have to be tested for COVID-19 during your quarantine period. If you don’t agree to be tested, you may have to quarantine for longer.
- The quarantine requirements are managed and enforced by state and territory governments with Australian Government support.
