Australia To Open Borders to International Travellers

Australia has had some of the strictest restrictions and lockdowns in the world. Its borders have been shut to the rest of the world for more than a year, and Australian residents are not permitted to leave the country.

The only country Australians have been permitted to travel to is New Zealand, as the two countries formed a travel bubble. However, that was recently cancelled due to increasing cases of the Delta variant in Australia.

On 30 July, Australia’s Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, shared a plan to resume international travel. The Prime Minister unveiled a series of targets he said could begin to be reached by the end of the year, including international travel.

Australia will have to vaccinate 80% of its adults against COVID-19 before it can consider reopening its borders.

Australia’s Plan To Resume International Travel

The Prime Minister announced a four-phase plan to greater freedom, including the gradual easing of local and state-wide travel restrictions based on vaccination rates. This is the same tactic the UK Prime Minister used to reopen the country’s borders and remove restrictions & lockdowns.

There’s no timeline for when Australia will reach each phase and it’s expected to be dependent on vaccine supplies and uptake.

Phase A (Current Stage)

The country is currently in phase A, with large parts of the country in and out of lockdowns. Some states and territories are in lockdown as officials try to get ahead of the virus with vaccine rollouts.

Phase B (Transition Stage)

Australia will move to the next phase when 70% of the eligible population is vaccinated. At that stage, lockdowns should be less likely and special rules will be introduced for vaccinated people. There will be capped entry for student and business visa holders and new quarantine rules for vaccinated travellers.

When 70% of eligible adults have received two doses, vaccinated residents will have more freedom from domestic restrictions. At this time, a limited number of international students and economic visa holders will be allowed to enter the country.

Phase C (Consolidation Stage)
The Prime Minister said the border would be gradually reopened in phase C of the plan when 80% of eligible adults have been fully vaccinated.

At this point, vaccinated Australians will be allowed to travel to safe countries overseas.

There will be no cap on returning vaccinated Australians, and vaccinated people will be able to leave the country.
…

Phase D (final phase)

The fourth and final phase of the government’s plan will see life return to pre-pandemic times, more or less, where COVID can be managed and international travel can return in a sustainable way.
