As is still the case, proof of vaccination was not a prerequisite for inbound travel and made no difference in a regime where (almost) everyone has gone into HQ.It would be of interest to hear comment from more recent arrivals who have used the ATD specifically to input their proof of vax doc. Guidance on the DHA site certainly gives the impression the process involves validation of some sort. However, I think we have to wait until after 1 Nov to learn how well ATD (or DPD) will work for us as passengers when there is so much more riding on successful verification of proof of vaccination credentials:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a go/no go decision at or before check-in with potential for off-loading; and</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">determination of whether a passenger qualifies for whatever form of quarantine (if any) is mandated for fully vaccinated arrivals in the relevant AU state/territory.</li> </ul></blockquote>
