- A driver’s licence issued by the Commonwealth of Australia or an Australian state or territory
- An aviation security card issued by the operator of the aircraft or the operator of an airport in Australia
- A document that identifies you, issued by:
- The Commonwealth of Australia
- An Australian state or territory

Non-photographic ID will only be accepted for infants travelling with an adult who presents photographic ID. In this case a birth certificate is acceptable.
