“A senior officer with no involvement in the initial decision will conduct the internal reviews. They will re-consider all information that was available to the original decision-maker. They will also review the decision according to current policy and guidelines,” if further added.

“We will aim to give you our decision and the reasons for it within 15 business days of receiving your review request.”

The DoHA says the review should be requested only if:

  • you have new information to support your request
  • your circumstances have changed, or
  • Government policy has changed.

“We consider all requests on their merits. We will approve requests if they meet current policy and have enough evidence,” it says.

Fully vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible visa holders across a number of categories can travel to and from Australia without needing to apply for a travel exemption. See: Travel restrictions and exemptions. 

One must hold a visa and an exemption to Australia’s travel restrictions before travel. An exemption can be requested online.
