Immigration Minister Alex Hawke says temporary visa holders who breach Australia's coronavirus health orders could be stripped of their visas and deported back home.

Mr Hawke made the remarks during an interview with 2GB today in response to a Bronte Beach backpacker party held on Christmas Day.

NSW Police were called to the popular beach in Sydney's eastern suburbs to break up large crowds gathered at a Christmas Day event, dispersing scores of revellers in Santa hats who appeared to be giving little consideration to social distancing.
