Breaking: Australians waiting to be evacuated from Wuhan have been told by DFAT their flight has not been approved by Chinese authorities and to return to their accommodation | Gallo_Ways ErykBagshaw

In Australia, universities are considering quarantining or asking students from China to self-isolate in student accommodation or regional campuses, as the health risks threaten to throw the start of the academic year into chaos for more than 100,000 students.

"The government cannot guarantee that similar types of assisted flights would be able to be put on in the future either into the mainland or Wuhan," he said.Qantas was forced to cancel a return flight between Sydney and Beijing on Friday due to cabin crew illness. Four of the nine cabin crew due to operate the flight from the airline's home base of Sydney called in sick.

They will be separated into families for two weeks and housed at the Howard Springs Manigurr-ma worker accommodation village owned by Japanese gas mining giant Inpex, built to accommodate fly-in-fly-out workers until 2018. The facility has swimming, cycling, beach volleyball and indoor cricket facilities and a medical centre.travelled for more than three hours through road blocks and checkpoints across Hubei province to reach the delayed flight.

Early on Friday, DFAT told passengers in an email that the number of people wanting to secure their return to Australia "is far more than there are seats available" on the flight."I don't know what's going on," he said. "This is very disappointing. As an Australian citizen, the government has the responsibility to to take back every Australian who wants to evacuate and has the ability to go to the airport.
