When planning to travel overseas, check a government advisory website to ensure the safety of the destination and investigate any requirements needed for visiting the region.
Australians should check
Smartraveller the website set up by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to provide up to date travel advice and consular assistance to Australians travelling abroad.
Smartraveller provides latest travel updates for countries where there may be political unrest or a natural disaster, for example.
You can also use the Travel Advice tab for detailed information about safety issues in individual countries.
The Travel Information tab provides travel tips, information about staying healthy when travelling, what to do if something goes wrong when overseas as well as advice for those travelling with families, going overseas for business and seniors travelling abroad.
If you are travelling overseas with prescription medicines you should check the section of the
website dealing with that topic.
There is also a section of the website where you can register your travel plans so you can be contacted if there is an emergency in the area you are visiting.
Visiting the Smartraveller website should be a essential part when planning of a holiday online.
