The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) produces travel advisories for Australian travellers or residents overseas.

Travel advisories provide Australians with up-to-date information about the security environment in a particular country, including in relation to possible terrorist threats or problems with law and order. They give advice on a range of practical issues like visa requirements, health and medical issues, cultural or religious differences. They also tell you how to get in touch with the local Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate or, if Australia doesn’t have one, where else you might be able to get assistance if you need it.
