• Have been fully vaccinated with a TGA approved or recognised vaccine, and 
• Have a vaccine certificate that meets the Australian Government’s authenticity and verification requirements. 

Or the following:

SA Regional Vice President South-West Pacific Louis Arul said the airline is looking forward to “reconnecting families and loved ones over the coming weeks and months ahead and continuing to support all levels of government in their efforts to reopen Australia’s borders in a safe, scalable, and sustainable way.”
