Information for those planning to leave Australia – Department of Home Affairs

COVID-19 Travel Insurance
Some travel insurance providers may now cover some COVID-19 related travel disruptions. It’s important you check this very carefully and purchase travel insurance when you book your holiday, not just before your travel date. If your preferred provider does not cover any or all COVID-19 disruptions, separate COVID-19 Travel Insurance products can be purchased. Please discuss with your TTFN travel consultant if you have any questions.
Now that you’ve found out where and when you can travel, it’s time to be inspired by our latest holiday deals.
