Get a health check and organise your travel vaccinations.
Check with your travel provider. They can help you understand rules and requirements specific to your planned trip.
3. Get your passport and visas ready
Check your passport is in date and valid for at least 6 months from when you plan your trip to end. Some destinations won't let you enter if your passport is expiring soon.
Arrange your visa. Contact the embassy or consulate of your destination if you have questions about their visas or application process.
4. Get travel insurance and other documents ready
Book your travel insurance. Read the conditions carefully before you buy so you know what's covered.
5. While you're away
Stay up-to-date with any changes to local restrictions.
Know what to do and who to contact if something happens while you’re away.
6. Returning to Australia
Check the entry and exit requirements for the state you’ll be arriving in.
