Please see attached and below regarding travellers entering Australia.

Joining crew in all states bar WA should be free to enter with minimal troubles as long as they are double vaccinated and complete the inward pre-arrival formalities.

Western Australia

Regarding joiners quarantine, the current status until 03rd March 2022 is for those who are fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine (see attached list, subject to changes at short notice), they will be allowed to self-isolate for 7 days only.

All non-approved vaccinated crew will have to quarantine for 14 days at government facility.

Their quarantine status can only be determined/qualified on arrival at Perth international Airport therefore we are unable to confirm if crew will self-isolate for 7 or quarantine for 14 days prior to arrival in Perth.

For all international arrivals after 1201hrs 03rd March 2022, the following entry requirements will apply;

• Be fully vaccinated under the Commonwealth Government requirements (see attached list, subject to changes at short notice), to be determined on arrival at Perth International Airport.

• Have an approved G2G Pass

• Undertake a Rapid Antigen Test upon arrival within 12 hours and report any positive result to WA authorities.

• Unvaccinated arrivals will be required to complete quarantine for 14 days at government facility.

All arrivals will be provided with one Rapid Antigen Test upon arrival to meet these interim testing requirements.

Note – Fully vaccinated will be allowed into WA without Quarantine provided they fly directly form overseas in Perth. If arriving Perth via other Australian states (e.g. Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne), they must be triple vaccinated in order to comply with requirements for no Quarantine.
