RSS FeedSafety First! How to Travel Safely in Australia and New Zealand ...
Before you start travelling make sure you have good health and travel insurance cover. You never know what can happen whilst travelling and therefore, it is better to be fully prepared, just in case. For those receiving Medicare then insurance is also needed because access is restricted and as a result may not cover all medical related problems.
Medicare in AustraliaIt basically means that if you are a resident of one of the nine countries included then you have restricted access to Medicare whilst you are in Australia. Visitors from Italy and Malta are covered for a 6 month period, starting from the first date of entry into the country. Whereas, those from the other 7 countries are covered for the duration of their entire stay. Within any workplace environment there are always safety rules and regulations in place. Every employer must ensure that their working environment complies with the Occupational Health and Safety laws and that the employee holds the relevant licences or registration for the job.
Make sure when starting a new job, especially one in a new country; you are aware of the safety rules in place in your workplace. It is up to the employer to make sure that the area you are working in is safe, but it is also a good step to make sure you are personally aware of the safety rules and regulations too, such as Uniform required, start and finish times, breaks and what is expected of you.
In addition to this check out any qualifications you may need for the job you are applying for. In Australia the hospitality industry can require you to have an RSA (Responsible service of alcohol) certificate. This can usually be obtained in a one day course and teaches you how to serve alcohol responsibly. However, every job is different so find out before applying what you may need.
Another good safety measure to take when working and travelling abroad is to research the job you are after. Whether you decide to do in-depth or a minimal amount of research it all counts and can even open up new ideas and opportunities. The best things to remember are:
