Your Travel Checklist

Travelling overseas? Use this handy checklist to help you pack and be travel ready

Getting ready for your trip 

You're going overseas. It might still be while away, but when you're about to fly, time can fly to. To help you get ready, we've compiled a list of important things for you to do and pack. So before suitcases are packed and the airport is within sight, go through this checklist to ensure you're well prepared. 

Being prepared against illnesses can make a world of difference

You want happy memories of your trip, however, getting sick overseas is not always something that we take into consideration as we plan our overseas holiday. Every traveller and each trip is unique.

Exposure to disease and developing an illness whilst travelling is influenced by many factors, including but not limited to; duration of the trip, destination, itinerary, food and water sources, the purpose of travel and type of accommodation. Fortunately, there are prevention measures that can be taken to protect against some of these diseases. While there is a cost involved, it’s not that much when you think of the peace of mind it brings.1

Ensure you see your GP or Pharmacist 6 weeks prior to departure¹
