Tourist visas and Bridging visas are not on this list, which means that most holders of these visas currently cannot enter or return to Australia.
The changes do not apply to tourists intending to come to Australia unless they are from Singapore, South Korea, Japan, or New Zealand. Please contact us for more information on these exemptions.
The Australian Government have prepared a Travel Preparation List that can be viewed in the Covid 19 section of their website. (Link opens in a new page)
In order to establish if you’re correctly, and fully vaccinated, you must have an evidential certificate showing which vaccine/s you’ve been treated with, including treatment dates.
The vaccines, and dosages that are currently approved are:
One dose of:
Johnson & Johnson / Janssen-Cilag COVID Vaccine.
Or two doses of:
AstraZeneca Vaxzervria AstraZeneca COVISHIELD Bharat Covaxin Moderna Spikevax Pfizer / Biontech Comirnaty Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV (Only suitable for people aged 18-60) Sinovac CoronaVac
The two doses must have been dispensed at least 14 days apart.
Seven days must have elapsed following your final dose before travelling.
Mixed doses are allowed and comply with the Australian definition of being fully vaccinated providing they all comply with the TGA.
What if you can’t be vaccinated due to a medical condition? You will be required to provide evidence of why you can’t be vaccinated. It is also worth checking with what the state or territory you’re going to requires.
If you’ve not been vaccinated with any of the above, or the timings do not comply with the Australian understanding of “Fully vaccinated”, you must not attempt to travel to, or enter Australia.
If your arrival port/airport is anywhere other than Sydney, Melbourne, or Canberra you will need to quarantine and you will be required to comply with quarantine rules for the arrival destination. There is a list of every state’s and territory’s requirements on the Australian Government’s website (Link opens in a new page).
