I've been keeping an eye on the Australian Border control and the inventory of flights to and from Sydney. At this point in time, it doesn't look like there's any way around the two week arrival quarantine into Australia. The restricted number of travellers currently stands at 6000 people per week into Australia. Airlines have been allocated quota and control the flow of arrivals. Hong Kong has currently categorised Australia and New Zealand as low risk, so the return quarantine back into Hong Kong is currently 7 days. At the time of writing parts of Sydney and NSW have been in lock down for a few weeks in attempt to contain the Delta Variant.
Unfortunately, without spending a small fortune there's no listed direct flights. So with that in mind, I've pulled the trigger and purchased indirect flights via Singapore back to Sydney for early November. Depending on how the situation plays out it gives me some optionality. If circumstances change, then at least there's an option to return home later this year.
