Entry requirements and CDC/WHO recommendations for travel to Australia.

If you're arriving directly from certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa or South America, Australia requires a Yellow Fever certificate on arrival โ€” worth checking if your route includes any of those countries. Otherwise, routine jabs and travel insurance and you're set.
