HMAS Adelaide has returned to Garden Island, Sydney carrying 616 ADF personnel home from Operation Fiji Assist. All personnel have undergone 14 days of quarantine and three COVID-19 tests to ensure they are COVID free before returning to Australia.
On Thursday 24 December 20, over 600 ADF personnel deployed on HMAS Adelaide for Fiji to assist with the Fiji Government’s disaster relief in response to Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
ADF elements are working with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to support the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) to provide assistance to thousands of Fijians, including many from remote islands, whose homes, schools and other local infrastructure were damaged or destroyed by the category 5 cyclone.
