Automatically Exempt Persons
Australian Citizens, Permanent Residents and their immediate families are just some of the people who do not require a travel exemption to enter Australia.
For the full, up-to-date list of exempt persons please check the
Department of Home Affairs website.
There are additional proof requirements for temporary visa holders and those who don't yet hold a valid visa. You must submit evidence to the Department before beginning your travel to Australia.
Temporary
Workers
I have
critical skills
If you have skills key to ongoing projects, Australia's economic recovery, or within a critical industry such as healthcare or food production, you may be eligible for an exemption to Australian border restrictions.
Compelling and Compassionate
I want to travel on compassionate grounds
If one of your close family is ill, or if you urgently require medical treatment not available in your current location you may be eligible for an exemption to Australian border restrictions.
Other
I need to reside in Australia but I'm not a citizen
If your spouse or immedaite family are in Australia on a temporary work visa or think you may have another valid reason to travel to Australia now you may be eligible for an exemption to Australian border restrictions.
Who won't receive an exemption?
Most students, those looking to holiday or visit Australia, some workers in non-critical industries, and those without strong compelling or compassionate reasons are extremely unlikely to receive an Australian travel exemption.
It's best to confirm your eligibility with a travel exemption expert such as
Travel Exemptions Australia.
Students
I am enrolled in an Australian education institution
If you hold a student visa (subclass 500 or subclass 485) it's extremely difficult to obtain a travel exemption.
There are some exceptions, particularly for those studying in a medical field, but it's best to check with the Department of Home Affairs.
Visitors (Leisure)
I want to visit my family or friends in Australia
Visitors to Australia without strong compassionate or compelling reasons (such as death or extreme illness) are extremely unlikely to receive a travel exemption.
There is no definitive date for the Australian borders to reopen at this stage, but it looks to be in the latter half of 2022.
Other
I don't fit into any of these categories
