Official text, “Visas and border measures”:
Each country or territory decides its own entry and exit rules, including health border screening measures. To find out what you need to enter a destination, ask their embassy, consulate or immigration office.
Tourist visas
If you’re travelling from certain countries, including Australia, you don't need a tourist visa for Fiji. If your stay is less than 4 months, authorities will issue a visa when you arrive.
To get a visa on arrival, you must show proof of booked accommodation and a return ticket.
Before travelling, check Tourism Fiji's frequently asked questions about travelling to Fiji page. If you have a previous criminal record, you may be denied entry into Fiji.
Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Fiji for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules.
Other visas
You may need a visa if you travel for other reasons. Contact the Fiji High Commission for more details.

How long must my Australian passport be valid for Fiji?
In its “Travel” section, Smartraveller gives no passport validity period specific to Fiji.
The official “Passport” text below is Smartraveller's general advice, the same on every destination page. Check the rule with the embassy of the country and with your airline before you travel.
Official text, “Passport”:
Validity
Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months before entering or departing. This includes for transit.
If your passport expires too soon, you might not be able to travel.
The Australian Government doesn’t make these rules. Check your passport’s expiry date before you go. If you’re not sure, it’s a good idea to get a new passport.
The same section also has Smartraveller's general notes (“Lost or stolen passport”, “Passport with 'X' gender identifier”), the same on every destination page: read them on the official page.
