Safety and Security

Do not travel.

We now advise all not to travel overseas at this time due to the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel. This includes to Ethiopia. If you’re already overseas and wish to return to Australia, we recommend you do so as soon as possible by commercial means. Ethiopia has confirmed cases of COVID-19. If you have travelled in a location that has a significant number of cases, or you show signs of a cold or flu while in Ethiopia, you may be required to self-isolate at home or be transferred to a government isolation centre. You'll need to remain there until medically cleared. We now advise: Do not travel to Ethiopia.
