Australia’s Indian communities hoping for increased quarantine capacity for family

Federation of Indian Associations of Victoria President Sury Soni says Australia’s Indian communities are looking forward to the possibility of connecting with family if Australia is able to increase its quarantine capacity. Mr Soni told Sky News the communities are hoping they might be able to bring over elderly relatives to protect and care for them because “we are a lucky country here that we have more controls in place”. He also said the communities would like the government to consider extending the definition of direct family for emergency travel to include parents. “Right now, the direct family definition only includes children and siblings, but we would like to include our parents into that list so that in the case of support care requirements of our parents we can bring them here”.
