Australia reveals date to launch international vaccine passports
International vaccination passports are arriving in Australia
Australians will begin using an international vaccine passport from October as a way to prove their vaccination status overseas and on their return to the country.
The country’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison today outlined that home quarantine will be key to reopening international borders.
Scott Morrison is also asking state and territory leaders about how they plan to integrate vaccination certificates into existing check-in apps, such as ‘Services Victoria’ – and plans to request state’s timelines on introducing home quarantine.
Under the nation’s reopening plan, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has suggested overseas travel will resume when states reach the 80 per cent vaccination threshold
Currently, around 40 per cent of the population in Australia aged over 16 is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
All travellers coming to Australia must undertake a mandatory two-week hotel quarantine period regardless of their vaccination status.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed that considerations were underway for what quarantine looks like for returning Australians, once vaccine targets are reached.
“There will be a transition in the quarantine system from 70 per cent double dose to 80 per cent double dose,”
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.
Qantas staff talk to passengers onboard a flight bound for Auckland on April 19.
“Once we hit 80 per cent double dose we will definitely be opening up Sydney Airport to welcome home Australians.”
A home quarantine system is currently being trialled in South Australia, allowing residents arriving from NSW and Victoria to quarantine at their residence.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
