Australia is one of the safest and friendliest destinations in the world. The safety and wellbeing of visitors to Australia is a priority for the Australian tourism industry.

Australia is a large continent with many different environments and experiences. This diversity means that visitors should take time to prepare a safe and enjoyable trip.

To help visitors learn more about travel safety in Australia, two tools have been developed.

Travel Safely in Australia Brochure

For the consumer, a brochure called Travel Safely in Australia summarises the four major safety considerations when travelling in Australia: Road Safety, Outback Travel, Water Safety and Enjoying Nature. The brochure contains messages in seven languages and is available from all State Tourism Organisations and most visitor information centres.

National Visitor Safety Handbook

To ensure that safety messages are consistent, accessible and complete, a handbook has been produced containing all travel safety messages relevant to Australia. The handbook is designed as a reference tool for website editors and producers of tourism publications to assist them to inform consumers about safe travel. Visitor Safety Brochure Cover
