On arrival covid test in Queensland

[scuderia ferrari]

Planning to travel to Cairns next month and confused about the on arrival tests. In Queensland gov covid microsite, it mentioned those countries expected from pre departure testing (basically all from 18 Apr) will need to take PCR test within 24hrs of arrival. Some websites like klook mentioned that self administered ART will do... Not really sure what's the protocol now.

Can anyone with recent travel to cairns/Brisbane/gold coast enlighten me?

I believe on arrival ART will suffice

Why even look at Klook? Look at the official website.

Entering Queensland from overseas

See what you need to do to enter Queensland if you have been in a place outside of Australia in the last 14 days immediately before your arrival in Queensland.

www.qld.gov.au

The COVID-19 test must be a PCR test if you are a fully vaccinated international arrival and you:

• have recovered from COVID-19 within the past 30 days, or
• have COVID-19 symptoms on arrival, or
• the country you departed from is exempt from Commonwealth pre-departure testing requirements for entry to Australia.

In Queensland, ART will do. But keen to know whether self administered or must visit a drive-through local clinic.

Self will do..

You visited QLD ? I saw the website still not updated. QLD Website still stating clinic test. Maybe pending update.

On arrival test should be scrapped already.. at least for most states.. QLD is damn slow

TS, have u visited QLD ?

My fren recently travelled there.
He said need to do RAT within 24 hours on arrival at a centre.
So he booked one at the airport and did it there.

Anyone visited QLD recently?
How's the flooding situation there?

May be after the election, they will move forward?
Oh but wait, their general election is for the federal gov, right?

Say for eg if the opposition wins, will there be any change of the premier in QLD?

No change in premier regardless of who wins the fed election.. there's state election to determine the premier.
