On 6 April 2021, the New Zealand government announced that quarantine-free travel between New Zealand and Australia will start on 19 April 2021.
To be eligible for travel between these Australia and New Zealand, travellers must not have had a positive COVID-19 test result in the previous 14-day period, and they must not be awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test taken during that 14-day period.
All other travellers are still required to enter government managed isolation and quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in New Zealand and must secure a place in a facility prior to travel. Places are extremely limited and currently travellers are reporting significant difficulties in securing places to align with desired travel dates.
