Staying healthy in Australia: Here’s what you need to know

Australia is known for its high health standards and well-established medical infrastructure. However, travelers must be informed about health-related requirements before visiting the country:

Make sure to stay updated on routine vaccines

  • Generally, Australia doesn't require mandatory vaccinations for most travelers. If you're arriving from a country considered at risk for yellow fever, you must provide proof of immunization.

  • Keep updated with Australia's COVID-19 requirements, such as quarantine, testing, or vaccine certificates, through your airline or the Australian government website

Medical facilities

Feel at ease knowing that Australia offers healthcare and medical facilities comparable to other developed nations. Whether public or private, hospitals have cutting-edge technologies and well-trained professionals.

Health Insurance

We recommend securing travel health insurance before your arrival. Australia has agreements with some countries for essential medical treatments, and insurance guarantees your protection against unforeseen expenses. It's peace of mind for your adventure.

Things to be aware of when traveling to Australia

Keep an extra eye on the following to keep healthy and safe:

  1. Sun and Heat: Protect yourself with sunscreen, clothing, and sunglasses, and stay hydrated.

  2. Water Safety: Swim between flags at patrolled beaches and be cautious of marine creatures.

  3. Wildlife: Stay informed about potential threats and take precautions. Enjoy, but stay safe!

Medication for personal use

  • Declare All Medications: Always declare any restricted substances at customs. Undeclared items could lead to fines or legal action.

  • Original Packaging: Always keep medicines in their original containers.

  • Prescription or Doctor's Letter: Carry a valid prescription or a letter from your doctor explaining the need for each medication.

  • Check for Restrictions: Research beforehand to ensure your medications are allowed in Australia, as some substances are restricted or prohibited. Check the Australian Government's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for comprehensive information about drug control.

  • Quantity Matters: Bring only a reasonable quantity that aligns with the duration of your stay to avoid complications.

Seeking assistance? Connect with the Australian Embassy

Need a visa extension or consular help? Your home country's embassy is your go-to place for support. Use our useful Embassies Finder to locate your nearest Australian embassy or consulate.
