The move marks the removal of the last Covid-19 barrier for travellers to Australia
Australian authorities have confirmed that the last barrier for unvaccinated travellers to visit the country will be removed from 6 July 2022.
All visitors, regardless of their Covid-19 vaccination status, will be able to travel to and from Australia.
A statement from the Department of Health and Aged Care said that decision had been made based on the advice of its chief medical officer. Travellers will still be required to comply with any remaining Covid-19 regulations, such as the wearing of masks, imposed by airlines.
