Australian travel exemptions for parents to open on 1st November, 2021
The DHA have announced that parents of Australian Citizens and Permanent residents will soon be able to apply for an exemption to travel to Australia.
This is great news for parents that want to reunite with their children and their families in Australia.
Who is a parent?
The definition of parents of Australian citizens and permanent residents includes:
biological parents
legal (including adoptive) parents
step-parents
parents in-law.
Exemption & valid visa required
Before you travel, you will need to have an approved travel exemption. To submit your exemption request you will need to provide evidence of:
your adult child’s Australian citizenship or permanent residency; and
your parental relationship to the Australian citizen or permanent resident.
You will also need to hold a valid visa.
Quarantine requirements
Quarantine in Australia is managed by the states/territories. Travellers will need to comply with the arrangements in the state/territory that they are arrive in. There may be also be requirements in the state/territory that travellers ultimately wish to travel too.
Some states, such as NSW & Victoria, are removing some quarantine requirements for eligible vaccinated travellers as of 1st November. Other states/territories will follow in due course so keep an eye on what’s needed at the time of travel. This could mean no quarantine, or more than one period of quarantine.
If you have any questions about a visa application and/or an exemption request then please Contact Us.

The Australian government has recently announced changes to the policies it has had in place for the COVID pandemic since March 2020.
Vaccinated Australian Citizens & Permanent Residents
From 1 November 2021, fully vaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents will be eligible for international travel without seeking a travel exemption.Children under 12 and those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons will also be able to travel overseas without an exemption.
Unvaccinated Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents
Unvaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents wishing to travel overseas (apart from children under 12 and those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons) are required to apply for an exemption to leave Australia. They can apply for an exemption but they must meet at least one of the following criteria:
your travel is as part of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak, including the provision of aid
your travel is for your business/employer
you are travelling to receive urgent medical treatment that is not available in Australia
you are travelling outside Australia for a compelling reason for three months or longer
you are travelling on compelling or compassionate grounds
your travel is in the national interest
you are ordinarily resident in a country other than Australia
Returning Australian citizens and Permanent Residents
Australian citizens and permanent residents do not need an exemption to return to Australia.
Each state manages quarantine arrangements. You will need to check what these are depending on your state of arrival. NSW & Victoria have announced changes from 1st November. Other states have indicated they will be making changes in due course as well.
Temporary visa holders returning home
Temporary visa holders impacted by COVID-19 can make arrangements to return to their home country, if border restrictions in that country allow.
Temporary visa holders leaving Australia for a short trip overseas
Temporary visa holders in Australia can depart Australia at any time, however, they will generally not be permitted to return to Australia without an exemption.
It is expected that this will change in due course.
In the interim temporary visa holders seeking to leave and then return to Australia, may apply for an inwards exemption before they leave, however applications will generally only be approved if:
the applicant meets the requirements for an individual exemption from Australia’s Inward Travel Restrictions, and
they have a strong compassionate or compelling reason to leave Australia supported by relevant documentary evidence, for example:
attending the funeral of a close family member overseas, visiting a close family member who is seriously or critically ill, or seeking necessary medical treatment not available in Australia, or
travel is essential for business purposes.
If you require assistance with an exemption to leave then please Contact Us.
