Statistics showing arrivals into Australia
Recent media reporting indicating more than half of all international arrivals into Australia are foreign nationals is misleading, and is contrary to responses the Australian Border Force (ABF) has provided to journalists.
The Government’s first priority is bringing Australians home.
Australia’s travel restrictions and travel exemption policy settings support the return of as many Australians as possible by ensuring travel into Australia by a foreign national is limited by the exemption criteria.
The ABF analysis indicates on average, over 80 per cent of arrivals required to quarantine within the hotel quarantine caps are Australian citizens, permanent residents (PRs) or their immediate family.

Joint media release: NSW Treasurer and Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW
With the State’s primary industries sector hard-hit by COVID-induced workforce shortages, the NSW Government has today announced a significant boost for farmers by subsidising half the quarantine costs for overseas agricultural workers.
NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall announced the subsidy at the iconic Sydney Royal Easter Show today, saying labour shortages in the agricultural sector remained at critical levels.
“We know that our primary producers rely on seasonal and foreign workers, but we have heard loud and clear that the cost of mandatory quarantine is a significant barrier for farming businesses wanting to employ overseas workers,” Mr Marshall said.
