Passengers arriving in Australia are required under Australian law to identify themselves and provide certain information through the completion of a passenger card.
Australian law concerning completion of a passenger cards is set out in the Migration Act 1958 (the Migration Act) and the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Migration Regulations).
What is a passenger card?
A passenger card is a document providing passenger identification and an effective record of a person's entry to Australia.
An Incoming Passenger Card (IPC) is to be completed by passengers entering Australia.
Passenger cards also serve as:
a declaration in relation to health and character requirements for non-Australian citizens
a visa application form for Special Category Visa applicants and for Norfolk Island Permanent Residents.
Who needs to complete a passenger card?
Most passengers are required to complete and present a passenger card when entering Australia. However, particular people are exempt from completing a passenger card (as prescribed in regulation 3.06 and schedule 9 of the Migration Regulations).
Australian citizens who refuse to complete an IPC may be penalised. Non-Australian citizens may be penalised and refused immigration clearance.

Australia has one of the world’s strictest possible quarantine laws and you are only allowed to bring certain items in Australia. If you don’t declare the items you can be liable to pay up to $420,000 and you can be prosecuted for up to 10 years.
One of the biggest question in overseas student’s mind is should I bring this item in my bag or not. You will need to know what to bring and not to bring before coming to Australia. In this video, Sam explains about what to bring and not bring when packing up your bags for Australia.
We have divided the video into three main sections.
- Things you are allowed to bring in Australia without declaring
- Things you need to declare
- Things you can’t bring at all.
