Travel

Australia’s flight-path to recovery is well underway with the Australian Government welcoming the New Zealand Government's announcement that it will join the Safe Travel Zone between Australia and New Zealand.

The Australian Government continues to prioritise helping vulnerable Australians overseas to return and will provide a further 20 commercial flights from locations around the world.

We note the UK Court’s decision in relation to the application to extradite Mr Julian Assange to the United States, which the Court has made on the grounds of his mental health and consequent suicide risk.

More than 300,000 Australians and permanent residents have returned from overseas since the Government recommended that people reconsider the need to travel abroad.

The Australian Government has committed an additional $50 million to continue its network of international flights to London and Los Angeles to help Australians return over the next four weeks.

The Australian Government is facilitating commercial charter flights to bring hundreds of Australians home from Peru and Uruguay over the coming days.
