Safety and Security

We now advise all not to travel overseas at this time, due to the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel. This includes to Hong Kong. If you’re already overseas and wish to return to Australia, we recommend you do so as soon as possible by commercial means. Hong Kong has introduced a range of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. From 19 March 2020, all travellers to Hong Kong, including Hong Kong residents (with the exception of those who have only been to Macau or Taiwan in the past 14 days) will be subject to compulsory quarantine for 14 days. This includes either quarantine at home or at a designated site if you have travelled from a high risk area. Entry restrictions remain in place for non-Hong Kong residents who have visited Hubei province in the last 14 days. See the 'Hong Kong COVID-19 Government Website' for the latest update (see Health and Travel). If you're only transiting through Hong Kong airport, this does not apply to you. Some countries have restrictions on travel to and from Hong Kong. We now advise you to: Do not travel to Hong Kong.
