Australia will reopen to all fully vaccinated visa holders, welcoming the return of tourists, business
travellers, and other visitors from 21.02.22
These changes will ensure the health of Australians, while the country continues to secure its
economic recovery.
With improving health conditions, including a recent 23 per cent decline in hospitalisations due to COVID, the National Security Committee of Cabinet today agreed Australia is ready to further progress the staged reopening of our international border.
Visa holders who are not fully vaccinated will still require a valid travel exemption to enter Australia, and
will be subject to state and territory quarantine requirements.
Today’s announcement will give certainty to our vital tourism industry, and allow them to start planning,
hiring and preparing for our reopening. In 2018-19, tourism generated more than $60 billion for the
Australian economy, with more than 660,000 jobs dependent on the industry.
Since the Morrison Government commenced Australia’s staged international border reopening on 1
November 2021 we have seen almost 580,000 arrivals come to Australia including to reunite with loved
ones, work or study.
