Passports

For international travel you'll need a current passport. Australian passport applications can be obtained from and lodged at selected Australia Post Offices.

See www.auspost.com.au or phone 13 13 18 for your nearest participating Post Office. Should you hold Australian Citizenship you are required to travel on an Australian Passport which must have at least six (6) months validity at time of your re-entry date into Australia. If travelling on other than an Australian or New Zealand passport a re-entry permit will be required. Some useful tips concerning your passport:

•  Write your personal details in the back of your passport

•  Take a copy of the photo page

•  Never sell, give away or use your passport as security for a debt

•  Carry your passport separately from other ID and credit cards

•  If your passport is lost or stolen, report it to the local police. Take a copy of the police report to the nearest Australian Embassy or Consulate
