Can he leave Australia?

I’d pack up and get if I were him.

yes he could leave like Voracova, see below, but allegedly that would be considered acceptance of the ruling and he would be banned from entering Australia for 3 years. some say this applies to Voracova as well, but Reuters doesn’t say. Australia should lose the right to host a tennis grand slam based on what has transpired so far:

9 Jan: Reuters: Tennis player Voracova left Australia after visa issues, Czech ministry says
Czech tennis player Renata Voracova left Australia on Saturday, the Czech Foreign Ministry said, after complications with visas that got her swept up in a furore over the handling of the country’s COVID-19 vaccine exemptions.

Voracova joined men’s number one Novak Djokovic in Australian immigration detention on Thursday, despite already having been allowed into the country and playing in a match before having her visa cancelled...

While Djokovic has challenged his visa cancellation, Voracova, a 38-year-old doubles specialist, decided to leave, telling Czech news site idnes.cz she would not challenge because of the time it would take to wait and not train ahead of the Australian Open later this month...

Voracova was unvaccinated but had an exemption after becoming ill with COVID-19 before Christmas, around the time she had planned to get vaccinated following last season’s end, she told idnes.cz...

She had entered the country and played in Melbourne earlier this week ahead of the Australian Open but was then detained in the same hotel as Djokovic...

No, he is in chase for record Open wins. He will probably be allowed to play, if I were betting. Beside, people like to make a big deal out of this. Sure, it is not a five star hotel, and I wouldn't stay there, but it not like it is staying somewhere in downtown San Francisco.
