Thanks for the shout-out @DFATVic. We❤️our Detector Dogs and all the great work they do to protect Australia's border from prohibited and restricted goods, but even they wouldn't have detected you tagging us in this tweet.
Australian Border Force operate a world leading Detector Dog Program in Melbourne. Last Friday, they gave diplomatic representatives from Japan, US, NZ and India a briefing. Although there is an important international collaboration aspect to the work, the puppies were a hit too!

You still need to do a DPD & provide your vaccination status and unvaccinated travellers will still need to be in an exempt category or hold a valid exemption.
