Novak Djokovic was not given an assurance by the federal government that his exemption to enter Australia without being vaccinated would be accepted, government lawyers said in court filings ahead of a Monday hearing.
The tennis star is fighting to overturn a decision by the Department of Home Affairs to quash his visa because he had not received a COVID-19 vaccination.
Djokovic’s legal team said the Serbian player had an assessment from the department that his responses on his travel declaration indicated he met the requirements for quarantine-free entry into the country.
