Over 460,000 Australians have returned to Australia since the government recommended, on 13 March last year, that people reconsider the need to travel abroad, including over 91,000 since 18 September.

Throughout the pandemic, the Australian government has helped over 40,500 Australians return, including over 14,000 people on 104 government facilitated flights. On 16 January the government announced an additional 20 facilitated commercial flights. This includes five government facilitated Qantas flights that have arrived in Darwin and Canberra from London, Chennai and Delhi in recent weeks. A further four facilitated flights will land in Darwin over the next few weeks from London and Frankfurt, with passengers quarantining at the Centre for National Resilience at Howard Springs.
