Foreign nationals who have been in China, Iran, the Republic of Korea or Italy in the last 14 days will not be permitted transit Australia.

All transits must occur on the same day as arrival and passengers will be required to remain airside in the airport.

These arrangements will be in place for 72 hours beginning at 1200 21 MAR2020 AEDST.

At the conclusion of this period any transit requests will need be considered through the Commissioner’s exemption process.
