A major change has been announced for Australian holidaymakers in the 2024-25 budget, with the process of having passports renewed taking a new shape.
A major change to passports has been announced in Treasurer Jim Chalmers' 2024-25 budget. Here's what every traveller needs to know.
There is also already a priority processing option for travellers who need a valid passport urgently, which costs $252. Applications for this option are processed in two business days once they are received. Treasurer Jim Chalmers' change to passports in the budget follows chaos that followed the COVID-19 pandemic when travel was getting back into full-swing and Aussies planning holidays were stuck waiting for months to have their passport delivered.
