Unvaccinated travellers—including international tourists, business travellers, and other visa holders—will still need to apply for an exemption to enter or leave Australia as the government declares an extension of its COVID-19 emergency health powers until April 17.

For unvaccinated Australians, they can still return from overseas as long as they quarantine for a fortnight in a government facility at their own expense.
