Australia is already in talks to establish a two-way travel bubble with other countries as quarantine-free travel to New Zealand kicks off from Monday.
The much-anticipated trans-Tasman bubble between Australia and New Zealand is now under way, with the first plane load of Qantas passengers from Sydney arriving in Auckland on Monday afternoon.
But Transport Minister Michael McCormack said officials had also begun talks with other nations in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Hopefully, more travel bubbles will be able to be opened up with perhaps Singapore … Japan, South Korea, South Pacific Island nations," McCormack told Sky News.
Asked who was at the top of the queue, McCormack said: "Singapore."
