Two different things going on.
1. Singapore (already started) and Japan/Korea from December 1 - Australian borders open to anyone from these countries who is double vaxed. So just normal tourists, backpackers etc can come in no problem and don't even have to quarantine. So I reckon a few WLs will be among those arriving.
2. Other countries - the Australian Government has announced 200,000 people can enter who meet various migrant and visa requirements eg refugees, employment visas (for certain industries), student visas etc. There is a bit of red tape to comply with here but again there should be a few WLs among the arrivals.
So yeah, it's looking promising. We could see a few arriving before Xmas, but certainly more in the new year.
