Australia, which has been one of the most restrictive countries in the world when it comes to combating the COVID-19 pandemic, will continue to block international tourists at least into 2022.
Foreign tourists won’t be welcomed back to Australia until at least next year, Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated on 05 October.
Instead, Scott Morrison announced skilled migrants and students will be given priority for entering the country which has had a strict travel ban in place since March last year.
As for a date when restrictions will be fully lifted, that remains to be seen as “2022” is obviously vague.
The Australian Tourism Export Council wants to have international travel up and running by March of next year to bring the tourism dollars back to the country.

The return to Australia cost for international students will be different in each state.
It has been reported that quarantine will be free for students in New South Wales, but universities in Victoria will decide who foots the quarantine cost which is A$5,000.
According to the NSW International Student Arrivals Pilot Plan, international students will quarantine in purpose-built student accommodation in Sydney and adhere to the same health and quarantine requirements set by the Australian government for returning Australians.

4:13 International Travel for Australian Citizens and Residents

The proposal outlined by the Prime Minister follows discussions with the new NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet about fast-tracking the rollout of home quarantine.
The move away from 14 days of hotel quarantine for vaccinated travellers is regarded as a crucial step before international travel can start ramping up to pre-pandemic levels.
Mr Morrison said it was a stunning achievement that over half of the adult population has now been vaccinated.
We have now administered more than 30 million vaccines around the country. – Scott Morrison
