Travel Safety Information
'Safer Travel'-Top 10 Tips
-
Read up on where you're going. Check on safety and
related developments at your destination by reading
country-specific travel advisories available from the
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website
www.smartraveller.gov.au.
-
Consult a 'safe travel' partner organisation for
professional advice on in-country travel, accommodation and
good travel preparation.
-
Get the necessary visas for the country or countries you
are visiting but be aware that a visa does not guarantee
entry.
-
Take out appropriate
travel insurance to cover hospital treatment, medical
evacuation and the kind of activities you plan to take.
Overseas medical costs are expensive and Medicare and
Australian private health insurance will not cover you
outside Australia.
-
For longer stays in a country, or where the security
situation is volatile, register your details at the local
Australian embassy, high commission or consulate, or online
at www.orao.dfat.gov.au/orao/weborao.nsf. This will help us help you in an emergency.
-
Know where to get help if you're in trouble. Ensure you
have the contact details of the local Australian embassy,
high commission or consulate in the country in which you're
travelling.
-
Keep in regular contact with friends and relatives back
in Australia by phone or email and leave a travel itinerary.
-
Check with health professionals for information on
recommended vaccinations or other precautions.
-
Protect your personal information and make copies of
your passport details, insurance policy, traveller's cheques
and credit card numbers. Carry one copy and leave a copy
with someone at home. Carry additional copies of your
passport photo with you.
-
Don't carry illicit drugs. In some countries such as
Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand (and
others) drug offences
carry the death penalty and/or very lengthy jail terms.
*Price Beat Policy means that if you bring us a competitor's quote and the fares
mentioned in that quote are still available (that is, if the class of fares or
special ticket prices are not already sold out), then we guarantee to undercut
the original quote you've obtained. This is providing the original quote is not
a mistake by the original travel agent and that the fares quoted on are still
current. This policy applies only to first time comparison quotations and we
will not continue to price cut past the first quote we provide you on any
particular quote obtained. We do not offer Price Beat on domestic sale fares
prices such as those offered by various airlines including Virgin blue and
Jetstar.
