Cruise ship evacuations
In recent years, a number of Australians have had to evacuate from cruise ships to Lautoka and Suva for medical care.
Often, this is due to pre-existing medical conditions.
Declare any pre-existing conditions to your insurer.
Remember to extend your insurance if you extend your trip.
Physical and mental health
Consider your physical and mental health before you travel, especially if you have an existing medical condition.
See your doctor or travel clinic to:
- have a basic health check-up
- ask if your travel plans may affect your health

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.
If you have immediate concerns for your welfare, or the welfare of someone you know, call the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or contact your nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate to discuss counselling hotlines and services available in your location.

Transport and tour operators may not follow safety precautions. They may also not maintain their equipment to the standards you'd expect.
This includes operators of:
- adventure activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, rafting and skydiving
- boats in rivers, coastal waters and between islands
Sometimes boats, rafts and kayaks don't have enough life jackets.
If you plan to do a tour or adventure activity:
- check that your insurance policy covers the activity
- before booking, check the operator's safety history and their safety equipment
- use only well-known and registered operators
- ask about and insist on minimum safety requirements
- always use the safety equipment, even if others don't
If you aren't given safety gear, or it's not in usable condition, use another provider.
Driving permit
Always carry your Australian driver's licence.
You can hire vehicles and drive in Fiji using your Australian driver's licence for the first 6 months after your arrival. After that, you'll need to apply for a Fijian driver's licence at a local Land Transport Authority office.
If you want to ride a motorbike, check if your licence covers you for this. Driving without the correct licence can void your insurance.
If you want to drive a boat, check if your licence covers you for this.
- Fiji Land Transport Authority
Road travel
If you drive in Fiji, take care. Driving is most risky at night due to:
- poor street lighting

Taxi quality varies. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) licenses taxis. Only use licensed taxis, which have yellow registration plates. Look out for the LT or LH registrations on the license plate. LT plates are metered taxis. LH taxis have fixed distance rates. Before you catch a taxi, make sure you have cash (Fiji dollars) for payments and that their meter is turned on. Be aware some taxis only have a seatbelt in the front passenger seat. You may need to plan ahead to book a taxi with front and rear seatbelts.
Public transport
The LTA licenses some, but not all, minibuses. Unlicensed minibuses may not have insurance.
Only use those with yellow number plates that have been LTA-approved.
- Transport and getting around safely
Before boarding any boat or ship, check the operator's credentials and safety equipment.
Make sure your insurance policy covers you for sea travel.
