On arrival to an Australian airport, the first thing you may need to do is exchange money.
Do not carry large amounts of cash.
Any cash you do carry should be kept in a safe place such as a money belt. It is recommended that you do not keep all your money, credit cards or traveller's cheques in the one place.

remember to always keep your passport secure.

When in public be aware of others around you and keep personal belongings safe and close to you at all times.

Report the loss or theft of any personal items to your closest police station.

Dial 000 in an emergency.

Stay alert to traffic and observe road safety rules. When crossing the road look in both directions first, and be aware that traffic may be coming from the opposite way to which you are accustomed.

Always use designated pedestrian crossings and only cross when you have the green 'walk' sign.
