Australian travellers will soon find it easier to enter the United States, as part of a federal government plan to strengthen ties between the two nations.
The Australian government on Tuesday announced it will join the United States' Global Entry program, which allows participating travellers to clear immigration and customs more quickly after landing in the US.
The scheme will initially open to a limited number of Australians who travel frequently to the US in January 2025, but the government is working to expand the program for all eligible Australians tourists later that year.
