Travellers under 18 have a general-goods limit of AUD 450 and no alcohol or tobacco concession. If a limit is exceeded, duty may apply to all goods in that category, not only the excess. Declare goods honestly; penalties can apply for non-declaration.
Food
Do not bring fresh fruit. Homemade meals, homemade cakes and similar homemade food generally cannot enter. Declare all food, plant material and animal products. Commercially prepared, fully cooked, shelf-stable bread, cakes and pastries without meat may be allowed. Commercially packaged chocolate without meat may be allowed. Roasted coffee may be allowed up to 10 kg for personal use. Dairy products may be allowed only when commercially prepared and packaged, produced in an approved foot-and-mouth-disease-free country, limited to 10 kg or 10 litres, and declared for inspection. Fish products have processing and quantity conditions. Check BICON for the exact product.
Medicine
Traveller's exemption: carry no more than a 3-month supply for yourself or an immediate family member travelling with you. Carry a valid prescription or doctor's letter naming the medicine and dose, keep medicines in original packaging with the dispensing label intact, and be ready to declare them. Codeine medicines require a prescription. Prohibited examples include mifepristone, yohimbe/yohimbine, metamizole/dipyrone and amygdalin/laetrile. Controlled substances can require additional permission.
Clothing and behaviour
There is no general national dress code for visitors or workers. Follow workplace safety clothing and footwear rules, respect venue rules, avoid disorderly behaviour, and follow lawful directions from police, border and transport officers.
Local laws
Australian federal, state and territory laws apply. Drive on the left, wear seat belts and motorcycle helmets, and follow state mobile-phone and speed laws. Do not carry illegal drugs or weapons. Alcohol and tobacco sales are restricted to adults 18+. Call 000 in an emergency. Overstaying or working without permission can affect future visas.
Work/study conditions
Do not work on a Visitor visa. Tourist-stream visitors may undertake study or training only within the limit allowed by the grant; the standard visitor limit is generally up to 3 months. Follow the exact stay period and conditions in the grant notice and VEVO.
Airport arrival
Carry your passport, visa grant notice, Australian address, employer or host details, onward transport plan, insurance information and any requested health or prescription documents. Complete the incoming passenger declaration accurately. Use the red/declaration channel or ask an officer when unsure about food, medicines, cash or goods.
Emergency / official contacts
Call 000 for police, fire or ambulance emergencies. Save the airline, accommodation, employer or host, insurer and consular contacts. Keep encrypted digital copies of the passport, visa grant notice, itinerary, insurance and key evidence.
