The Australian Government has lifted all travel restrictions on Fiji.
The Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said this includes restrictions applying to the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, ministers, military personnel and their family members, government appointees and the judiciary.
Bishop said the decision follows a review of Australia's travel sanctions, which was announced during her visit to Fiji last month.
The travel bans were put in place in December 2006 in response to the military coup.
Julie Bishop said the decision is in line with the Australian Government's policy of re-engagement and normalisation of bilateral relations with Fiji, and follows the significant progress Fiji has made towards holding elections on 17th September this year.
Bishop said Australia will work with the government of Fiji and other donors to support Fiji's election preparations.
