Australian's who want a holiday back in Australia for a short period should be told no. We'll see you in 4 months time when the vaccine has been rolled out.
If I told you our CFO let our Financial Accountant ( yep, that's what she calls herself ) go to Bosnia back in July to visit a sick relative (we're told) and, cop this, not only allowed it but facilitated a new laptop for her to take to do her work upon and now the company we work for has realised she can't actually get back and may stump up business class airfares for her and her partner would you believe me?
I would believe you.
Companies make silly decisions all the time.
But yes, these are the exact sort of travellers I'd be comfortable saying you pose an unacceptable risk returning now, you can wait 4 months.
Personally don't mind people wanting to come back to Australia. Just think they should get tested (and return a negative result) within 3 days prior to getting on the plane. Still would require them to do 14 days quarantine on the off chance they've contracted it since.
