THOSE arriving in Australia by sea will no longer need to complete a Maritime Travel Declaration, following changes to the Biosecurity Act, as of Wed night.
However, cruise lines may still have specific requirements travellers need to comply with, the Australian Government is reminding passengers.
Arrivals in Australia will also no longer have to complete a Digital Passenger Declaration to declare their COVID-19 vaccination status before they enter the country via an aircraft.
“I know anyone who has travelled internationally since the borders have opened will find this as one less thing to worry about — especially as more Australians get back to travelling overseas,” Minister for Home Affairs Clare O’Neil said.
“As more and more of us travel internationally and we get more confident in managing our risk of COVID…and for Australian citizens, with the removal of these requirements, returning home will be much easier.”
