From a speech by the Hon Jason Wood MP:
The Australian Government, through the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) in the Department of Home Affairs, regulates the migration advice industry in Australia.

The Australian Government fs highest priority remains the wellbeing and safety of Australians.
These actions are based on advice that the volume of reported COVID ]19 cases in the Republic of Korea, and the scale of travel to Australia from the Republic of Korea, means that they present a high risk of further transmission of COVID ]19 in Australia.
Therefore, screening measures alone would not be sufficient for the Republic of Korea. For arrivals from Italy, we will implement enhanced health screening and temperature testing arrangements.
These measures are part of our ongoing strategy of containment and minimising risk to the Australian community as detailed in our pandemic preparedness plan.
