With the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), the world is experiencing an unprecedented public health challenge.

All of us are anxious about the implications of coronavirus. As Australians abroad, we know that distance from home is felt most acutely during times of uncertainty.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind every Australian in the United Kingdom that your government is listening to the best scientific advice, is committed to providing information in a timely way, and is monitoring developments to ensure your wellbeing and safety.

Here in the United Kingdom, Australia House will remain open and our team is available to assist you.

We will ensure updated information is readily accessible through our website and we will keep you regularly updated through our social media channels. I have linked to this message -- in the alert box above -- important information sources with details on the health and travel implications of COVID-19.

Australians who are overseas and have decided to return home should make arrangements to do so as soon as possible. As airlines reduce capacity, scarcity of available seats and travel disruptions are possible. Of course any decision to return to Australia is, in the end, a matter for you.

Throughout this emergency, Australia House will continue to help Australians here in the United Kingdom. You are not alone and together we will come through this.
