The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has revised their travel classification for Ukraine to “Reconsider Your Need To Travel” (due to Russian aggression as well as COVID).

DFAT has also opened a registration portal for Australian citizens in Ukraine to register their whereabouts due to security concerns. If you (or members of your family) are currently in Ukraine, make sure you have plans in place to depart quickly as security conditions can change at short notice.

You should only register if you’re in Ukraine and:

• an Australian citizen

• an Australian permanent resident (PR), or

• an immediate family member of an Australian citizen or PR

You can register your details here: https://crisis.dfat.gov.au/crisisportal/s/
