Australian domestic travel requirements
We've prepared these guides to help you understand government requirements for Australian domestic travel.
Before booking and before you travel, ensure you check the latest Government travel requirements, which may include mandatory health declarations, vaccinations, COVID-19 tests, use of face masks, entry permits, pre-approval and quarantine (possibly at your own expense), or you could be denied entry.
Requirements for travelling within Australia
As states and territories open their borders, there are some COVID-safe requirements for travel and we want to help you know what to expect.
If you've been identified as a confirmed COVID-19 case or close contact, you should follow the health guidance of the jurisdiction you're in and travelling to (including any isolation and testing requirements) before you travel.
Information on travelling to:
For travel within Australia, you'll need to follow the Public Health Orders and Directions set out by the state or territory you're travelling to. Ensure you check the latest travel advisories for your destination before you get to the airport.
Pre-departure COVID-19 tests
Many states and territories have revised their testing requirements for domestic travel. Rapid Antigen Tests are now accepted if a pre-departure test is required. You'll need to check the conditions for the relevant jurisdiction you're travelling to. Arrival COVID-19 testing may also apply.
If you've recovered from COVID-19 in the past and your itinerary is for travel wholly within Australia, you don't need to apply for past positive medical clearance with us. However the government may request proof of recovery documentation when arriving at your destination or when you apply for a travel permit, if required.
Vaccination requirements
If a state or territory requires you to be fully vaccinated to travel intrastate, you can use your immunisation history as evidence, available through the myGov or Medicare app. If you were vaccinated outside of Australia, alternative evidence can be provided.
If you can't be vaccinated for medical reasonsOpens external site in a new window, you do not need to apply for an exemption with us if your booking is for travel within Australia only.
What to expect when travelling
We've implemented some changes to ensure you know and understand the latest travel requirements when travelling around Australia.
- Prior to travel, we'll send reminders of travel and destination entry requirements.
- On arrival at the airport, you may be asked to sign-in using a QR code (using an app) and confirm your vaccination status (in states and territories that require it).
- When checking in, you'll be asked to confirm that you comply with government travel requirements (including COVID-19 vaccination, where applicable).
- You'll also be asked to sign-in using QR codes (using an app) to access lounges and may also be asked to show proof of vaccination (where applicable).
- Other COVID-safe measures, including the requirement to wear masks in airport terminals and onboard remain in place.
Keep up to date with the latest government requirements
While we update this information regularly, requirements may change with short notice. Before you travel, we recommend you check with the revelant government authority for the latest travel advice on travelling to, from and within their state or territory.
