After feedback from a number of Members and Colleagues, the issue of Australian border controls is clearly an important and topical area. As the Federal Government considers reversing its ''Zero Covid'' strategy, the Australian Business Council of Sweden (ABCS), together with Australian Business in Europe (ABIE) are seeking to provide input into the new policy framework regarding travel to, from and within Australia.
We understand a number of Australians living overseas have had family and other personal issues arising from Australia's policy. However, to maximise the impact and inline with the remit of the Australian Business in Europe (ABIE) network, the priority will be highlighting the business and career related impact of Australia's policy with a particular focus on the potential short, mid and longer term commercial impacts. Specifically we are seeking your opinion on how Australia's policies impact the economic and reputation of Australia, and also your input into the following areas:
Impact on those living, working and/or running companies which span Australia and Europe
Perception of Australia as a destination for investment or employment
Recommendations on how restrictions should be eased
Important: Click the button below and complete the questionnaire to submit your feedback. Answers via other methods will not be accepted. Please note, input to the ABIE submission will be anonymised unless you expressly authorise otherwise.
Deadline for input: 26 September 2021.
