true. But the OP never mentioned quarantine nor whether or not he can afford it. He, like me, just wants to get home.
Read this -
Non Repatriation travellers - Contact details to submit a request will be available with your invoice. Your application for the low income reduction will need to be submitted within 14 days of the invoice date. If your application for low income status is approved, the invoice amount will be reduced and a revised invoice will be sent to you. If your application for low income status is not approved, you will be notified of the outcome and you are still required to pay the full quarantine fee.
