As of last weekend, passengers can travel on a rapid antigen test RAT result rather than a polymerase chain reaction PCR test result. In addition, the time between receiving a positive test result and being cleared for travel to Australia will be reduced from 14 to seven days.

The changes came into effect at Sydney time, on Sunday, January The Australian Government says the changes give travelers more flexibility and are consistent with moves within Australia to accept RATs for diagnostic purposes. Previously Australia-bound travelers had to have a PCR test within three days of traveling.

Now they can have a RAT within 24 hours of flying out. However, it's not quite a do-it-yourself free-for-all. The RAT will need to be supervised and certified by a medical officer including nurses, pharmacists, or pathologists. Alternatively, travelers can utilize an authorized airport testing process just before departure.

And so this is a recognition of that. It also brings it in line with Australian domestic arrangements. Stay informed: Sign up for our daily and weekly aviation news digests.

Australia remains closed to many travelers. Those who do have the green light include fully vaccinated Australian citizens. Also on the approved list are permanent residents of Australia, immediate family members of Australian citizens and permanent residents. New Zealand citizens can enter along with eligible visa holders, and other passengers holding an approved Australian travel exemption. While those entry rules come from the Australian Government, individual states can add their own entry restrictions.

However, Australia's three key states - New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland , presently allow inbound international travelers per the Australian Government rules.

The policy change is particularly helpful for passengers flying to Australia from locations where PCR tests are difficult and expensive to obtain. The more sensitive PCR tests can often return positive results, effectively barring them from travel. Until now, passengers who've had COVID have had to apply to Qantas for medical clearance at least 14 days after their first clean PCR test and at least seven days before departure. Qantas told Australian Frequent Flyer they are dropping this requirement this week.

Greg Hunt calls the changes sensible but important. He adds that Australia's pre-departure testing requirements will continue to be reviewed regularly.

The reviews will take into account the most up-to-date domestic and international epidemiology. Changes to testing regime and wait times In addition, the time between receiving a positive test result and being cleared for travel to Australia will be reduced from 14 to seven days.
