近日，澳大利亚驻华使领馆发布媒体声明：澳大利亚将自2月21日起向所有完全接种疫苗的签证持有者重新开放，欢迎游客、商务旅行者和其他访客返澳。
以下为官方中英原文：
Australia will reopen to all fully vaccinated visa holders, welcoming the return of tourists, business travellers, and other visitors from 21 February.
These changes will ensure we protect the health of Australians, while we continue to secure our economic recovery.
Australia’s health system has demonstrated its resilience throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including though the recent Omicron wave. With improving health conditions, including a recent 23 per cent decline in hospitalisations due to COVID, the National Security Committee of Cabinet today agreed Australia is ready to further progress the staged reopening of our international border.
Visa holders who are not fully vaccinated will still require a valid travel exemption to enter Australia, and will be subject to state and territory quarantine requirements.
Today’s announcement will give certainty to our vital tourism industry, and allow them to start planning, hiring and preparing for our reopening. In 2018-19, tourism generated more than $60 billion for the Australian economy, with more than 660,000 jobs dependent on the industry.
Since the Morrison Government commenced Australia’s staged international border reopening on 1 November 2021 we have seen almost 580,000 arrivals come to Australia including to reunite with loved ones, work or study.
The Commonwealth continues to work with States and Territories on the safe resumption of the cruise industry and looks forward to further announcements on this in due course.

媒体声明
2022年2月7日
澳大利亚将自2月21日起向所有完全接种疫苗的签证持有者重新开放，欢迎游客、商务旅行者和其他访客返澳。
此次政策变化旨在保护澳大利亚人民健康的同时力保经济复苏。
澳大利亚卫生系统在整个新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行期间展现了复原力，包括应对近期肆虐的奥密克戎毒株。鉴于澳大利亚健康情况已改善，且近期因新型冠状病毒肺炎而住院的人数下降了23%，澳大利亚内阁国家安全委员会今日批准，澳大利亚已准备好重新分步开放国门。
未完全接种疫苗的签证持有者仍需持有效旅行豁免才能进入澳大利亚，且需满足各州和地区的检疫要求。
今日公告将给澳大利亚支柱产业旅游业注入强心剂，允许其为重新开放做好规划、招聘和准备工作。2018-2019年度，旅游业为澳大利亚经济创造了600多亿澳元的收入，提供66万多个工作岗位。
自莫里森政府于2021年11月1日启动澳大利亚重新分步开放以来，我们已经看到近58万名入境者来到澳大利亚，与在澳亲人团聚或在此工作或学习。
澳联邦继续与各州和地区合作，安全恢复邮轮业，并期待时机合适时宣布更多相关消息。
