Travel advice for Australia

Take normal precautions, avoid demonstrations, follow local media and stay alert in crowded places. The terrorism warning is “probable” despite the Bondi Beach attack; crime is generally low, but theft, car break-ins and occasional armed robbery or sexual assault occur. Take care at night outside official campgrounds and in tourist or nightlife districts. Obtain a visa before travel, use insect protection and take travel insurance for potentially high hospital costs.

Travel to Australia can generally be undertaken safely if the usual precautions are followed. In New Caledonia, remain alert because political tensions may worsen in the short term. Avoid demonstrations and public gatherings, as isolated security incidents may occur, and follow instructions from local authorities.

Exercise normal security precautions in Australia. Petty crime, including pickpocketing and bag snatching, occurs mostly in larger cities, while vehicle break-ins are common, so secure belongings and exercise caution in tourist areas. Demonstrations may turn violent, terrorism is a threat, and coastal and outdoor activities can be dangerous. Remote interior and outback areas are isolated, with scarce services, limited mobile coverage and severe weather access risks.

Use normal precautions and remain alert, as most Danes have no problems. Terrorism is a global risk at crowded public places, and 15 people were killed in a December 2025 attack at Bondi Beach.

Natural hazards include dangerous wildlife, bushfires, cyclones and flooding, while left-side driving and animal collisions create road risks; Australia’s overseas territories are excluded.

Be alert to tropical cyclones in northern Australia, floods, bushfires, dangerous wildlife, poisonous plants and hazardous swimming conditions.

Travel to Australia is generally safe, but monitor airline changes caused by the Middle East conflict and warnings for bushfires, floods, storms and heatwaves in the state or territory visited.

The terrorist threat is probable, so expect stricter security at airports, bus stations, ports, public events and government buildings, and follow official security advice.

Take normal precautions, but prepare for heatwaves, bushfires, tropical storms, cyclones, flooding, rip currents and wildlife related road crashes. Do not visit desert areas from December to March, follow authorities during bushfires, and enter water only between red and yellow flags at patrolled beaches. Guard against pickpockets and theft, especially in large cities, the Northern Territory, remote Queensland and northern Western Australia, where crime and heavy alcohol use are higher.

Singapore issues no advisory beyond normal precautions, noting that Australia is generally safe but pickpocketing, apartment break-ins and vehicle break-ins occur. Take particular care in tourist spots in Western Australia, do not leave belongings in rental vehicles, and plan long-distance and rural driving carefully because distances, unfamiliar conditions and patchy mobile coverage increase risks. Seatbelts are compulsory in every state; monitor bushfires during hotter months, especially if asthmatic.
