Turnbull Government secures US exemption for Australian Passport Holders

The Australian Government has received assurances from the United States Administration that all Australian passport holders remain welcome to travel to the US.

The White House has confirmed the US Executive Order of January 27 will not affect any Australian passport holder irrespective of their country of birth or whether they hold another passport.
