Australia is poised to reopen its international borders in November to again allow its citizens to come and go without seeking permission as states close in on key coronavirus vaccination targets.

The federal government will on Friday begin to issue international COVID-19 vaccination certificates and remains in talks with other countries to work out which vaccines will be recognised in international travel bubble arrangements.

International borders are set to be reopened for Australians.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Friday the trigger to reopen international travel will be a national average vaccination rate of 80 per cent of over-16s. Individual states will also have to hit the 80 per cent threshold before flights can arrive in their airports freely.
