Mosquitoes spread malaria and some other diseases. If you are managing a condition with prescribed medication, remember to take it with you.

Recognise that travel can be stressful, too. Some items you might bring back from overseas can carry pests and diseases that Australia doesn't have. When you return, help keep Australia's environment and agricultural industries safe by declaring ALL food, meat, fruit, plants, seeds, wooden souvenirs or anything you think might be a quarantine risk. Every year people fall in love and get married overseas. This can be a good thing, but it can also lead to problems.
