Australia’s Foreign Minister Marise Payne has announced a promises to financially support overseas Australians trying to return home amid a decreased travel cap.
The number of international arrivals has decreased to a little over 3 thousand flights across the country, while 20 repatriation flights are scheduled between now and September.
Ms Payne said the new cap reflects the ‘very challenging environment’ and encourages those overseas to contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Consular Emergency Centre, especially for those in need of financial assistance.
