UPDATE 1430 21 March 2020 AEDST
The Australian Prime Minister has given approval for foreign nationals departing New Zealand to transit Australia to return home.
Foreign nationals who have been in China, Iran, the Republic of Korea or Italy in the last 14 days will not be permitted transit Australia.

All transits must occur on the same day as arrival and passengers will be required to remain airside in the airport.

These arrangements will be in place for 72 hours beginning at 1200 21 MAR2020 AEDST.

At the conclusion of this period any transit requests will need be considered through the Commissioner’s exemption process.

UPDATE 0741 21 MARCH 2020 AEDST

The Australian Prime Minister has given approval to 36 hour transit window beginning at 2100 20MAR2020 AEDST.

This will enable European travellers currently in New Zealand to transit Australian airports enroute back to Europe.

This is not to be a standing exemption but one to enable the return to Europe of French and other European nationals who rely on connections via Australian airports.
