Health/Medical
Standards of hygiene in Australia and New Zealand are very high, and drinking water is safe.
Vaccinations are not required if you are traveling direct unless you have come from or visited a yellow fever-infected country or zone within six days before arrival in Australia.
Cell Phone Access While In Australia
There are 3 options that are available:
1 - Purchase an International or Australia SIM card. If you have a newer cell phone that utilizes a SIM card you may be able to change out your SIM card and use your existing phone. AT&T and Verizon SIM card phones will most likely work while Sprint phones without SIM cards may not.
2 - Purchase or rent an international cell phone package. You can purchase or rent prepaid phones that will work internationally and you may add additional minutes as necessary.
3 - Continue to use your current provider. We highly recommend contacting your provider prior to departure to confirm your phone will work in Australia and to add any services for international calling to avoid high international roaming charges.
Contact us for more information on purchasing an Australia SIM card, or purchasing/renting a phone.
** The group leader will have a cell phone and that number can be provided to family for emergency purposes only.
Miscellaneous

We will initially open the group with 40 seats. Once those spaces are gone, we will determine if there is enough interest to expand the group. Spaces will be reserved in order of deposit received. We will keep a waiting list if there is more interest than we can accommodate.
2. Can I be matched with a roommate?
Yes. We will keep a list of single travelers requesting roommates and will provide their contact information to you.
