Increasingly, Australians are receiving a ‘vaccine passport’, but the government has not attached any rights or freedoms to it, yet.
Tourism Minister Dan Tehan hopes the vaccine passport will, in the future, prevent extended lockdowns or border closures.

Already, parts of the European Union are now allowing vaccinated individuals to travel quarantine-free, and there are hopes Australia will follow.
