As part of the update we no longer ask Australians to register their travel before departure.
Smartraveller’s registration system will activate only when there’s a crisis overseas.
We encourage Australians overseas to stay in touch with friends and family and let them know you’re safe.
If you need immediate assistance, you can call the Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 from overseas or 1300 555 135 from within Australia.
