Please ensure that you have a valid passport well in advance of travel as either the airline staff or immigration authorities will not allow you to pass through customs and board your flight without this documentation.

Either airline staff or immigration authorities may not allow you to pass through customs and board your flight without the appropriate Visa. http://www.dfat.gov.au/travel/index.html for further advice.
