Australia Travel Declaration / Arrival Card Info
The standard arrival form for entering Australia has been the Incoming Passenger Card (IPC) — a paper form travelers fill out (often on the flight or at the airport) upon arrival.
Recently, Australia began trialing a digital alternative called the Australia Travel Declaration (ATD).
Depending on the airport and airline, eligible travelers can submit the ATD via the official app (currently via the app of certain airlines) before arrival, instead of filling out the paper IPC.
The online declaration collects essential personal, travel and customs information — submitted digitally to border and biosecurity authorities — to support identity verification, customs / biosecurity declarations, and to help streamline arrival procedures.
Filling out the ATD (where applicable) can make your entry into Australia faster and smoother, reducing time spent filling out forms by hand on the plane or at the airport — though in some cases the traditional paper IPC may still be used.
Whether you are arriving in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane — or elsewhere — it’s advisable to check whether your flight / airline offers the ATD option, and if not, be prepared to complete the IPC upon arrival.
