‘Ready to move on’: Major change to international travel

International travellers will no longer have to do one thing after the Health Minister confirmed major changes to how Australia handles Covid.

International travellers will have pre-departure testing requirements removed after the Health Minister confirmed a raft of changes to how Covid is handled in Australia.

Travellers previously needed to show a negative Covid-19 test in order to board a flight to Australia, even if they were up to date on vaccinations.

But from April 17, that rule will be scrapped.
