No vax needed to enter Oz

05 Jul 2022
Comments | 0

The Australian Government has announced that travellers will no longer have to complete the Digital Passenger Declaration giving their COVID-19 vaccination status. This follows changes to the Biosecurity Act which comes into force from midnight on Wednesday, July 6. 

The changes mean that all visa holders can travel to Australia without needing a travel exemption and that vaccination status is no longer a criterion determining entry to the country. 

“Removing these requirements will not only reduce delays in our airports but will encourage more visitors and skilled workers to choose Australia as a destination,” said Home Affairs Minister, Clare O’Neill. 

When travelling around Australia, visitors should be aware that there are also state-specific regulations concerning mask-wearing and vaccination requirements for specific industries/situations.  

Most state-level governments continue to require facemasks on public transport and in high-risk settings, such as medical facilities.
