Australian ambassador to Qatar Jonathan Muir shared the information on his Twitter page, with the details of the DPD available at https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/digital-passenger-declaration
The Digital Passenger Declaration has replaced the Australia Travel Declaration.
All passengers arriving by air into Australia should complete the DPD. "You can start your DPD seven days before your flight and submit it within 72 hours prior to your departure for Australia. This is because you must provide your health information and declaration (vaccination status and Covid-19 test result) within 72 hours before your flight," the DPD webpage states.
