Travellers walking through a bright, sunlit airport terminal

Before you book

  • Check your passport is valid for at least six months after you return — many countries require it.
  • Check visa and entry rules for every country on your trip, including transit stops.
  • Take out travel insurance as soon as you book, so you're covered if plans change.

Before you go

  • Subscribe to travel advice for your destination at smartraveller.gov.au.
  • Some countries need an electronic travel authority before you fly, such as the USA (ESTA), Canada (eTA) and the UK (ETA).
  • See your GP about vaccinations and medications 6–8 weeks before you leave.
  • Let your bank know you're travelling and carry a backup card.

Documents

  • Keep digital copies of your passport, insurance and bookings, and share them with someone at home.
  • Carry medication in its original packaging with a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor.
  • Have your accommodation address handy for arrival cards and transfers.

Packing smart

  • Check your airline's baggage allowance before you pack.
  • Liquids in carry-on usually need to be in small containers in a clear bag — check your airport's rules.
  • Pack a travel adaptor, a power bank and a change of clothes in your carry-on.

At the airport

  • Check in online where you can, and allow plenty of time for international flights.
  • Keep your passport, boarding pass and phone in one easy-to-reach place.
  • Label your bags inside and out.

While you're away

  • Save the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre number: +61 2 6261 3305.
  • Use an eSIM or local SIM so you can stay contactable.
  • Keep valuables in the hotel safe and only carry what you need.
  • Save Jade's number — 0416 934 342 — for help with changes on the road.

Travelling as a group or team

  • Share one itinerary with everyone, including emergency contacts.
  • Agree on a meeting point at airports and venues.
  • Collect passport, dietary and medical details early, so nothing is missed.

These tips are general information only. Always check the latest travel advice and entry requirements for your destination at smartraveller.gov.au before you travel.
