Fly Safe
When travelling overseas, it's your responsibility to take care of your safety and wellbeing. We recommend using Smartraveller for official travel advice to help you understand the risks and prevent problems while overseas.
Some countries have lower safety and security standards than Australia which can be a risk for overseas travellers. Before you go, research the safety and hygiene standards for airlines, airports and destinations you plan on travelling to.
Airlines, airports and destinations may require you to provide a pre-departure COVID-19 PCR test up to 72 hours prior to travelling, as well as medical forms, arrival declarations and other entry processes. As a guide, The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) released a statement on safe international travel.
