Border Force reassures Hajj pilgrims

The Australian Border Force has moved to reassure Hajj pilgrims they won't be targeted at airports simply because of their race, religion or destination.

The agency issued a fact sheet on Tuesday outlining procedures for smooth border clearance such as arriving at the airport no later than two hours before flight departures and a reminder about declaring cash amounts of $10,000 or more.

The annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca starts in mid-September.
