Travel advice

 

Under the Protect phase there is no longer a requirement for students and staff to seek special approval from deans, directors and supervisors for travel to H1N1 affected countries.

There are no limitations on travel within Australia, but authorities are encouraging people to practice good flu hygiene.

You should still follow all normal travel procedures for the University, which includes following the policy on travel to high risk destinations.

All staff and students travelling on ANU business are advised they should register overseas travel details and itinerary with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Smart Traveller website. This should also include private travel taken in conjunction with ANU business travel.

Staff and students should also consider registering when travelling privately (on holidays etc) as this system allows DFAT and Embassy staff to contact, check on health and/or organise the evacuation of Australian citizens when disasters, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other events require such a response.

Staff and students are also urged to subscribe to travel advisory updates from the Smart Traveller site as these will keep you informed of changes to the travel advisories for the countries you will be travelling. You can register for these email updates at: http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/accounts.

When travelling, ANU people are encouraged good hygiene practices to help protect their own health and that of their colleagues. Check out the General Health Advice page on this website.
