Travel risk
UNSW's commitment to safeguarding staff and students abroad.
UNSW has a duty of care to all staff and students travelling internationally on UNSW-related business.
If you are seeking approval to travel to a destination that is rated DFAT 3 or 4, or otherwise deemed to be a "High Risk" location by UNSW Risk, then you are required to complete a travel risk assessment for your trip and submit it in your PTA.
Travel Risk resources
The Risk Management team reviews all travel requests for international travel to destinations deemed high risk due to the activity or destination, informed by DFAT and UNSW Partners Global 24 Advisory. Our commitment is to respond to travel requests received via the MyTravel@UNSW system within 24 business hours of receipt.
Smart Traveller can be used to check the advice level for the region you intend to travel.
