Travel health for Australia

A very long flight, multiple time zones, and climates from tropical north to temperate south.

Before you travel

A very long flight, multiple time zones, and climates from tropical north to temperate south.

During your flight

On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.

Mosquito protection

Insect precautions matter mainly in the tropical north and in wetland areas.

Sun & heat

Some of the highest UV levels of any destination. Sun protection is a daily habit, not an occasional one.

Food & water

Tap water is generally drinkable in cities. Heat and distance make hydration planning worthwhile.

First aid

A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
