The numbers are still below pre-pandemic levels, but almost 1.1 million Australians left the country in December last year – compared to 1.3 million in December 2019.

Key Points: 
  • The numbers are still below pre-pandemic levels, but almost 1.1 million Australians left the country in December last year – compared to 1.3 million in December 2019.
  • International travel is a safe, positive experience for most people, but unfortunately things do go wrong for some travellers.
  • Trouble, when it comes, can involve anything from lost passports and small-scale theft to serious welfare problems, hospitalisation and arrests.

Travellers behaving badly

    • These were serious situations requiring intensive work from our diplomats, but there is much more to the job than that.
    • COVID-related repatriations arranged by DFAT were counted separately – there were more than 62,000 of these in the past three years.
    • But expectations have grown among travellers in recent decades, partly because of the speed of our communications and the instant public feedback we receive via social media.
    • While most Australians are self-reliant travellers, there are still many not living up to their side of the bargain.
    • This was the case for Sean Turnell, who was imprisoned in Myanmar for political reasons until being released last year.

Three ways to stay safe

    • The conflicts in Ukraine and elsewhere have impacted many travellers, as have major weather events and natural disasters.
    • Travellers once again need to look to their own resources – or their travel insurance policies – to ensure they get home.
    • 2) Stay in touch with family back home The consular service deals with hundreds of “whereabouts” inquiries each year.
