Almost 13 years since the 39-year-old left Australia for a trip to Bali, she landed home in Brisbane, describing it as 'relief'.

"It is with gratefulness and relief that we mark Schapelle Corby's return to Australia," the family statement read by a member of the security team said.

"We would like to say thank you to Schapelle's supporters for all the faith, love and support they have shown over the years.

"To all those in Australia and to all of those in Bali, who were there throughout the difficult journey, your support has not gone unnoticed.

"To each and every one of you, you are appreciated."

The family has called for privacy as the convicted drug smuggler tries to settle back into life in Queensland.

"Priority of focus will now be on healing and moving forward," the statement said.

"In the spirit of humility and in the spirit of dignity, we ask all parties to show respect for the family's privacy during this time."
