Only passengers flying with Qantas from Auckland or Queenstown in New Zealand are eligible and must complete a declaration digitally before they fly.
On landing in Sydney, they get a digital pass with a QR code for inspection by border and biosecurity officers.
The trial is operated through the Qantas app.
