Policy interpretation
In order to help friends further understand the content and scope of the policy, Serena Williams will give you a further explanation. In fact, simply put, the entry policy mainly focuses on two aspects. The first is the lifting of vaccine restrictions, and the second is the cancellation of DPD declaration.
No.1 Vaccine restrictions are lifted. The policy of
does not require vaccination certificates. It means that you can enter Australia no matter what type of vaccine you receive. It turns out that the Chinese vaccines recognized by the Australian government include Beijing Sinopharm and Beijing Sinopharm. Now you have received the Anhui Zhifei, Wuhan Sinopharm and Kangtai vaccines. You can enter the country and do not need to present your vaccination certificate.
In addition, originally unvaccinated passengers need to apply for entry exemption. Now, with the changes to your Biosafety Law, all unvaccinated visa holders can still come to Australia without travel exemption. Those who are suffering from unvaccination or unvaccinated with Australian approved vaccines can finally come to Australia with peace of mind.
No.2 DPD Fill in Cancel
People traveling to Australia from 6 July 2022 will no longer need to fill out a Digital Passenger Statement (DPD) to declare their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Friends who come to Australia finally don’t have to fill out the long headache-inducing form of DPD. In response, Interior Minister Claire O'Neal also said that this is undoubtedly good news for international students returning home from school holidays.
In addition, those who arrive in Australia by sea will no longer need to fill out the sea travel statement.
