Going Overseas

Top 10 Travel Tips

1. Get informed – do your research about the destination before taking flight

2. Accidents happen - travel insurance is definitely something to consider

3. Overseas travelers – Register your details online or at the local Australian embassy, high commission or consulate once you arrive, so you can be contacted in an emergency.

6. Make copies of all important papers

7. Chat with your doctor before traveling about recommended vaccinations or other precautions and find out about overseas laws on traveling with medicines.
