25 May 2021 update: Quarantine-Free Travel from Victoria to New Zealand (one-way) will be paused from 7.59pm NZT and be in place for 72 hours initially. As with previous pauses, it will be under constant review. If you are in Victoria, Australia and visited any of the locations of interest at the times and dates specified, you must not travel to New Zealand within 14 days from when you were at the location. Information about locations of interest are provided on the Victoria Health website and are being updated regularly coronavirus.vic.gov.au/exposure-sites Airlines and border officials will be asking people to declare whether they have been at one of the locations of interest. People intending to leave Australia to another country through the Australia-New Zealand Travel Bubble note: Australians who use the New Zealand travel bubble to fly onto the rest of the world should be aware of the below: Changes have been made to the Biosecurity legislation (Human Coronavirus with Pandemic Potential). The amended Entry Requirements reflect the health advice of the Director of Human Biosecurity that a declaration from individuals who have travelled to a third country outside the safe travel zone aligns with the purpose of preventing COVID-19 from being introduced to, establishing and spreading in Australian territory. It is designed to reinforce the current public health advice that Australian citizens and permanent residents should only be using the New Zealand safe travel zone exemption to travel to New Zealand unless they have a compassionate reason, or required urgent medical treatment not reasonably available in New Zealand or Australia, that required the person to travel to a third country. Compassionate reasons may include the death or serious illness of a close family member of the individual or of a close family member of the spouse or de facto partner of the individual. The intention of including compassionate reason is to provide for circumstances that could not have been known to the individual prior to their departure from Australia to travel to New Zealand. Quarantine free travel from NZ has resumed for travellers under the following conditions: Quarantine-free travel from NZ is permitted to New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory, Queensland and Victoria. Other states may be added at a later date. These conditions do not apply to NZ citizens who have been outside NZ or who have not been in New Zealand for the last 14 days or more. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern has announced that Australian travellers are able to enter New Zealand without mandatory hotel quarantine from 19 April 2021. Similar to the New Zealanders travelling to Australia, Australians flying into New Zealand will go through a green zone at the airport and will be separated from travellers from around the world. The travel bubble will allow Australians to travel to anywhere in New Zealand. Anyone with a flu or cold symptoms will not be able to travel and all passengers are required be wear a mask. The Department of Home Affairs has amended the Trans Tasman travel bubble advice to confirm that VISA HOLDERS are permitted to travel to NZ and return to Australia without need to obtain a travel exemption or need to enter hotel quarantine upon return. Travellers will need to be prepared for possible disruption to travel arrangements at short notice and to follow specific protocols before, during and after their travel. Information for travellers can be found on the Australian Smartraveller On 30 April 2021, the New Zealand Government is introducing an exception to the border restrictions for the families of some temporary visa holders in New Zealand.
