Arriving at Melbourne Airport

Melbourne Airport's international and domestic terminals are conveniently located under one roof. The airport is about 25 minutes drive from the City on the Tullamarine Freeway.

Some airlines fly to and from Avalon Airport, which is about 40 minutes from Melbourne. You can get there by car, taxi or the Sunbus.

International Arrivals

On the plane you will be given an Incoming Passenger Card to complete. You will need to fill in your flight details and customs information. Make sure you have your passport and Incoming Passenger Card ready for the Entry Control Point. When you have passed through the Entry Control Point, you will collect your baggage and exit via Customs and Quarantine (AQIS).

There are two exit points/channels after you have collected your baggage. You may proceed through one of these two channels:

• If you have any goods to declare, you must walk through the Red Channel or,
• If you have nothing to declare, you can proceed through the Green Channel.

For more information, see our Australian Customs Regulation section.

Domestic Arrivals

If you are flying to Melbourne from another state, you will arrive either at Melbourne Airport or Avalon Airport, which is about 40 minutes' drive south-west of the City. From Avalon Airport you can hire cars, catch the Sunbus, or catch a taxi into the city.

Domestic passengers are not usually required to go through the Entry Control Point.
