Currently, our Summit safety protocols include:
A visa is required to enter Australia. See visa options for attending conferences here.
COVID-19 Testing: Australia does not require you to undertake any pre-departure COVID-19 testing to enter, leave or transit Australia. Learn more about Australia’s current vaccination and testing requirements.
Digital Passenger Declaration: All passengers arriving by air into Australia need to complete the Digital Passenger Declaration (DPD). You can start your DPD seven (7) days before your flight and need to submit it within 72 hours before your departure for Australia. This declaration is also where you will verify your vaccination status. Learn more about the Digital Passenger Declaration.
Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination: If you were vaccinated outside of Australia and do not have an International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate (ICVC) you will need to present your foreign vaccination certificate to airline staff.
Travelers vaccinated in other countries can present certificates in formats that meet the following criteria:
If you cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, you must be able to provide acceptable medical evidence. For more information see Vaccination and testing.
If you do not meet Australia’s definition of fully vaccinated for international travel purposes, you may also need to apply for a travel exemption to enter Australia.
For more information and how to apply see Travel exemption process to enter Australia.
