Australia travel information
Australia has a well defined tourist infrastructure and is easy and safe to travel around; however, there are some extremely remote Outback areas and you should plan ahead before travelling to these parts. Standards in Australia's hospitals are also very high and there are few exceptional health hazards.
Visitors should be aware that (depending on season) flash flooding of large areas and bush fires can occur suddenly. For an overview and outlook of security and health risks, check out the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website. Here you will find up-to-date travel advice regarding Australia.
