Hello Friends, welcome to the forums.
# Check the latest travel advice for your destination and subscribe to receive free e-mail

notification each time the travel advice for your destination is updated.
# Take out appropriate travel insurance to cover hospital treatment, medical evacuation and

any activities, including adventure sports, in which you plan to participate.
# Before travelling overseas register your travel and contact details online or at the local

Australian embassy, high commission or consulate once you arrive, so we can contact you in

an emergency.
# Obey the law. Consular assistance cannot override local laws, even where local laws appear

harsh or unjust by Australian standards.
# Check to see if you require visas for the country or countries you are visiting or
transiting. Be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry.

Thanks
