Why can some Australians fly overseas but not drive to Queensland?
In just a few days, many Australians living in New South Wales or Victoria will be able to fly to London or Los Angeles — but not drive across the Queensland border.
Fully vaccinated travellers will be able to leave the country and will be able to travel to the UK, the USA, Canada, Italy, Greece, Germany and South Africa without needing to quarantine.
It'll be the first time since March last year that people have been able to leave the country without seeking an exemption from the federal government.
Quarantine requirements on return to Australia are up to the states.
Under Queensland's COVID-19 vaccination plan, 14 days' quarantine is still required for international arrivals — whether in a government facility or at home — until 90 per cent of the population over 16 is fully vaccinated.
From that time, there will be no restrictions on entry to Queensland and no quarantine required for fully vaccinated travellers.
Travellers who are not fully vaccinated will need to meet "relevant requirements for entry" and be required to undertake a period of quarantine.
