If anyone is knowledgeable:
Are we allowed to enter AU (once magopen hopefully by dec 1) through Sydney airport? I have a relative living in Sydney who will take me in for a week or so to help me adjust and settle. Parang bakasyon lang.
Of course, ang employment at residence ay sa SA pa din. Any issues with that?

I dont think there is a issue with the Port of Entry mo on other State. We as well will be entering Melbourne.

Kami balak hopefully sa January 2022. But checking flights sa Qantas and Singapore Airlines, parang from PH to SG (layover) to Sydney then South Australia lahat ng routes. Ang labas ba nun is quarantine sa Sydney then quarantine ulit sa South Australia?
Ang dami requirements from international travelers pupuntang South Australia according sa link na to: https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/travel/entrycheck-sa

Anybody knows if we need to get our own health insurances prior to arrival? Di kasi tayo covered ng Medicare.

Nevermind. Nakita ko na walang condition 8501 sa visa natin. So we can get the insurance later on. Need to check the forums for a recommended company for private health insurance para satin.

Good day!

Hi, I will also be coming from the Philippines to SA but maybe in Jan. If connecting via Sydney then to Adelaide, nde na ba magquarantine sa sydney nyan? I checked kc in SG airlines, wala pang flights direct to Adelaide from PH..

If mag transit lang sa Sydney or Melbourne (less than 24 hours stay), no need to quarantine.

So for BM and admittance purposes sa airport and AU, 489 visas only need:
(These are for people travelling from non-safe travel zones only like Pinas)
negative PCR Test (no more than 72 hrs prior to arrival in SA)
** Please note that SA requires 72 hrs pre-arrival, whereas Australia (in general) require 72-hrs pre-departure
Travel Declaration Form (must be submitted 72 hrs prior to departure)
Absolute must-reads:
https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/before-i-travel
https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/travel/entrycheck-sa
Did I miss anything important?
** Probably a bit of useful info re: full quarantine in SA:
I am travelling to South Australia from overseas via another Australian state or territory, what are my requirements?
If you have been overseas in the last 7 days, you will be required to comply with ‘High Risk’ entry conditions on arrival to South Australia. This applies if you enter South Australia from another state or territory.
So baka if you land in QLD for example, and stay there for a week or so before moving to SA, then you might be considered not "High Risk" --- meaning a full 14-day quarantine might not be needed. Although, not entirely sure if non-Australians are considered "High Risk" by default. Please note that states such as Sydney/Melbourne are still considered COVID "hotspots" by other states.
So make of that what you will.
