Outside Australia?
Australia has reinforced its border protection capabilities.
Anyone who attempts to travel illegally to Australia by boat will be detected, intercepted and turned back.
Australia's borders are closed to illegal maritime migration
Anyone who attempts an unauthorised boat voyage to Australia will be turned back to their point of departure, returned to their home country or transferred to another country.
No-one who travels illegally to Australia by boat will be allowed to remain in Australia.
Australia's tough border protection policies are designed to protect Australia's borders, combat people smuggling and deter people from attempting dangerous boat voyages across the open ocean.
Do not believe the lies of people smugglers
People smugglers use false promises of settlement in Australia to convince people to hand over their money. Do not believe their lies. The truth is that no-one who pays a people smuggler for an illegal boat journey to Australia will get what they paid for.
People smugglers do not care about your safety or your future. They are only interested in your money.
Travel safely and lawfully
There is only one way to gain entry into Australia; with an Australian visa.
To find out more about your options for safe and lawful travel to Australia, visit the Department of Home Affairs website.
Australia's tough border protection policies will not change
Under my command, any people smuggling boat that approaches Australia will be stopped and turned back. This will not change.
People smugglers will not get through our defences. Not on my watch.
Do not risk your life for nothing – Australia's borders are rock solid
I am the Commander of Operation Sovereign Borders – Australia’s military-led operation to combat people smuggling and illegal boat travel to Australia.
Our counter-people smuggling capabilities and defences are rock solid, and will stay that way.
Do not trust people smugglers. They are criminals out to exploit you. Do not risk your life for nothing.
Do not trust people smugglers – you will be turned back
Australia’s military-led operation to combat people smuggling will continue into the future under my command.
On my watch if you attempt an illegal boat journey to Australia you will be intercepted and turned back.
People smugglers will rip you off.
Do not put your life or the lives of your family in the hands of these criminals.
No change to Australia's boat turn back policy
Anyone who attempts to travel illegally by boat to Australia will be detected, intercepted and safely removed from Australian waters. The rules apply to everyone. There are no exceptions.
