#parentsareimmediatefamily
"I know that will be very welcome news to Australians right across the country who were hoping to be reunited with their family members, their parents who are overseas," he told reporters. "I want to stress that for the other states and territories and I have advised the premiers and chief ministers to this end, it is about Australian residents and citizens first," Mr Morrison said.
Many, including new mothers unable to be with their mums and dads after giving birth, have described the family separation as "soul-destroying".
Who is the PM of Australia now? Lol
This is too little too late for my father rip 20/4. He was waiting on a flight bk to melb
Unfortunately unmarried but committed couples won’t be allowed to reunite. I’m glad for the parents but when for parents is just a visit partners are having their lives on hold for 19 months. I have my partner waiting with house ready for lifetime in Melbourne waiting for a date
Announcing and DOING are two entirely different things.

I didn't realise it takes the Prime Minister to *classify* parents as immediate family...
Big question is will those other states besides NSW be scrapping flight caps entirely for fully vaxxed aussie citizens, residents and their immediate family who test negative pre flight like nsw is doing from nov 1st
Umm, they are immediate family.
Should be able to go where you want
Do parents need to apply for visitor visas or can they use eTA (US citizens)?
