• Visibility gives process control and audit capability • Visibility ensures significant risk to be mitigated offshore prior to arrival • Reliable pre-travel preparation allows a layered approach to the border. Starting with travel bookings, pre-departure testing, potential pre-departure managed quarantine/isolation, alerting travellers about current and emerging risk pre-departure, integration with airline check-in systems and the Australian Border Force, support of on-arrival processing and then monitoring on-arrival quarantine/ self-isolation and real-time support of health agencies minimises the chance of failure.

“Privacy concerns are important but must be balanced against the imperatives of the pandemic.” – Dr John Shephard
Date security and privacy Privacy and security by design are key features of goPassport. Personal data is encrypted, access to systems is strictly controlled and, at the end of the journey, travellers can request to have all of their personal data deleted, permanently. goPassport aims to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation.
The Product Risk Assessment Profile goPassport maintains a dynamic COVID-19 risk rating for each traveller. “Health Risk Flag” (HRF) for each traveller assessing their individual risk of importing COVID-19 into Australia. Advanced analytics process streams of constantly-changing clinical, population and related data, the HRF is established prior to travel and constantly reviewed throughout the immediate pre-travel, transit and quarantine periods. Only non-resident visitors with an acceptable HRF are permitted to board flights or continue their itinerary.
User Experience CAPTURE PATHWAY
goPassport captures traveller itinerary and any required pre-travel test requirements and relevant health history. GUIDE COMPLIANCE
Provide information to support compliance with any mandated self isolation and quarantine requirements, utilising real–time geo fencing and biometric and location based verified logins. MONITOR COMPLIANCE
Constant itinerary monitoring, daily health status reporting and cross checking with real–time location-based activity will allow alerts to be generated should a traveller trigger non-compliance. Alerts will be sent to the traveller and support travel and health management. ALERT AND MANAGE
goPassport constantly monitors the environment to identify locations of risk. A traveller whose itinerary or actual location indicates that they would be endangered is alerted about the risk. In the event of an adverse health event, goPassport will manage an automatic next best action including escalating contact policy, advice and action steps. ESCALATE
goPassport will manage alerts to the traveller, travel management, health authorities and if necessary current national support. Upstream and downstream contact mapping includes other
Pilots – why they are crucial for the industry to prove control and results The open / shut policies for the pandemonic control will ensure that border closures remain for further in time than necessary due to the limited blunt natural of the control tools. To open up without the “how” thoroughly tested, audited and agreed process will ensure that the first breech will result in a closure. Our international travel industry can’t sustain this process. To test new systems and processes and build confidence in these, small scale targeted pilots are the answer. A focus on specific low risk groups with high economic value, highly
managed and supported with technology with results demonstrated through data, can achieve the required government and public confidence-building. The pilot collaboration now underway with the education industry gives the tourism industry the chance to prove the significant value created through managed itineraries supported by goPassport technologies. Supporting international students to return to studies in Australia provides hope for institutions to recover and continue their high value contribution.
Subsequent small-scale pilots supported by managed itineraries can be addressed to focus on: 1
Social Fabric Health – Control Visiting Friends and Relatives
2
High Net worth Individuals – Control through charters / exclusive use services
3
Corporate travel – High Value Transactions and Product Installations
4
Green Corridors – Reciprocal Pilots with Australia Residents and incoming Non-residents.

Establishing travel confidence The travel, education and hospitality communities around the globe are supported by goPassport’s operation to ensure travellers from outside a country represent no increased risk to the operation of these community sectors nor its citizens. By providing confidence that inbound travellers have been continuously screened and cleared before travel, that they are monitored during their stay and have active travel-case management, then more crude, generalised lockdowns can be avoided as these travellers present no additional risk to the local community.
