Research your destination

Before you embark on your trip, it's important to do your research and understand the local culture, customs, and laws of your destination. Check the travel advisories issued by the Australian Government and read up on any current events or issues that may affect your travel plans.

Get travel insurance

Pack smart

When packing for your trip, it's important to pack smart and only bring the essentials. Make a list of the items you'll need and pack accordingly. Be sure to also check the baggage allowance and restrictions of your airline to avoid any surprises at the airport.

Stay connected

Staying connected while travelling is important for both safety and convenience. Make sure to have a reliable way to communicate with friends and family back home, as well as access to important travel apps like maps, translators, and weather forecasts.

Be aware of your surroundings

As a traveller, it's important to always be aware of your surroundings and exercise caution in unfamiliar places. Keep your valuables secure and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or wearing expensive jewellery. It's also a good idea to avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas.

Follow local customs and laws

Respecting local customs and laws is essential for any traveller. Be sure to dress appropriately, behave respectfully, and adhere to local customs and traditions. Remember that what may be acceptable in one country may not be in another.
