Just about cost of PCR tests.
To leave Australia you need one for travelling and cost is $150 from a private path lab.
PCR to travel back to Australia 72 hrs prior=FJD 350.Rapid test at resort FJD 35.
These costs are per person travelling, so you have to factor it in!
Yep I think a lot of people will be put off by this! I hope we see these things scrapped asap.
