Now that our travel options are beginning to open up again, people are able to freely travel across the Tasman to catch up with friends and loved ones. Or perhaps book in that long weekend to Melbourne that you have been hanging out for nearly two years now.
And finally, you can easily come back home again without the hassle of MIQ or home isolation.
Health travel packing list
If you are travelling overseas, there can be strict rules on travelling with prescription medication. If you take a number of medicines, or take particular types of medicines, you may need a doctor’s certificate to verify this. Check with your airline before packing your bags.

Pack in RATs for peace of mind
If you are travelling across the ditch (or even throughout New Zealand) make sure that your travel checklist includes a pack or two of RATs (Rapid Antigen Tests).
Why?
Because you might be surprised that it’s not necessarily cheap, quick or easy to purchase RATs tests in Australia and other countries – and you will need them on your travels.
Packing in RATs means you have peace of mind knowing you have them immediately on hand, when you or someone you are with needs to test.
Visiting family? Reassure them and yourself you are OK to take off your face mask and give them a hug.
