As of June 2025, previous eligibility criteria for arriving travellers based on nationality have been removed. All travellers holding an ePassport or machine-readable passport are now eligible to use arrival SmartGates - regardless of nationality.
Children aged 7seven and over may also use arrival SmartGates and kiosks when entering Australia, provided they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, possess an ePassport, and are taller than 110 cm.<ref>{{cite web |website=Australian Border Force |title=Who can use SmartGates |url=https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/smartgate/arrivals/who-can-use-smartgates |access-date=18 June 2025}}</ref>
