On Oct. 1, 2021, the Australian government announced that the current 18
month ban on Australians travelling abroad will be
lifted in November. Reopening will be done in phases throughout the
country. In the first phase, the government will focus on

country for international travel. Vaccinated citizens will be
allowed to complete a 7-day home quarantine upon their return to
Australia. Unvaccinated citizens will be required to
complete a 14-day hotel quarantine.
