Australians wanting to go overseas or return home will have access from Tuesday to an international proof-of-vaccination certificate, bringing overseas travel a step closer as the country nears the first major vaccination milestone in the recovery plan.

In a joint ministerial statement, the federal government said the vaccine passport will enable fully vaccinated Australians to travel overseas. The certificates will be available a day before travellers from New Zealand’s South Island will be allowed to enter Australia without having to quarantine. Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly said the change was made because the South Island had recorded zero cases this year, despite an ongoing outbreak on the North Island.

“Obviously it is a matter for them in terms of how they stage it, but we certainly want to move it, and we want to move fast, because if we can open up safely in this way we will get the NSW economy back on top,” Mr Perrottet said. “We will see international flights arrive in Melbourne and not go to a hotel quarantine, they will instead go home for a period of time and it won’t be 14 days, I think it will be less than that.

rachelclun What are the options for permanent residents without Australian passports?

rachelclun I’ve been travelling on the existing one internationally for months? The only shit thing about it is it doesn’t clearly show each dose as others do, so I’m constantly asked that question at borders while other people aren’t

rachelclun 'if we can open up safely' says Premier Do. How will he know if it's safe or not? How will anyone know? Who cares anyway? Why do we care if people get really, really sick - they probably had pre-existing conditions so deserved it. Obesity is a pre-existing condition.. Er..Scotty?

What a relief that Victoria can finally acknowledge its failure and move on from this pointless, painful and wasteful chapter in our history.
