Travelling to Australia
Immigration and Visas
All travellers, except New Zealand citizens, must obtain a visa or travel authority before travelling to Australia. See also under Visas and migration.
Medicine
If you are travelling with prescription medicine, we advise you to contact the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Services to establish whether your medicine is restricted. It may be sufficient to bring a note in English from your doctor, describing your condition, your medication and the dosage you are required to take during your visit to Australia, but we strongly advise you to seek advise from the Quarantine services.
Tourism
Tourism Australia's website offers a wide range of travel information and planning tools including suggested holiday itineraries, interactive maps and weather updates. This website also contains references to Danish and Norwegian travel agents who specialise in Australia. Danish and Norwegian citizens between 18 and 30 years of age may be eligible to travel to Australia on Working Holiday visas.
Additional travel related information can be found through the Australian Government's Internet gateway and on the States' and Northern Territory's websites:
