VISAS
Your trip of a lifetime will grind to a
screeching halt if you forget to sort out your
entrance visas. Make sure you refer back
to our visa guide on Page 4 for a look at
where you can work around the world. And
dont forget to check with one of our friendly
advisers for visa requirements too; cos if you
do require visas, we should be able to help
you get one so you can sit back and relax.
health
Its your responsibility to obtain proper
and detailed medical advice in good
time before your departure. We suggest
that you visit the Department of Health
website at www.health.gov.au for up to
date information. Your local Doctor can
also give advice on which vaccinations
youll need for particular countries.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CASH

TRAVELEX CASH CARD
What the!?! Were talking Cash Passports
- same size as a credit card but with no
debt & better services. You never know
whats in store when youre travelling
overseas. So make sure youre armed
with a Cash Passport, the only prepaid
travel money card that prepares you for
the unexpected. With a free backup card,
Travelexs own 24/7 Emergency Assistance
Services and access to VISAs global
network, Cash Passports are the most
convenient way to access funds abroad.
There are two types of cards available:
Cash Passport Card - Can be used at any
VISA ATM Worldwide and it can be reloaded
whilst overseas or better still, back at home
by a family member. Its available in AUD,
NZD, GBP, USD and EUR offering you the
ability to lock in your value no matter what
happens to the exchange rate.
Cash Passport Debit - The latest in cards,
not only can you access your money at
any VISA ATM around the world. You can
now make purchases at any merchant that
accepts VISA cards (Gucci, Prada anyone!).
The VISA ATM card is now available in AUD,
NZD, GBP, USD and EUR.
Features common to both cards:
Convenient issued instantly, no
need to carry ID or wait until the
bank is open to get money out
Prepaid no unexpected credit card
bill upon your return
Toll-free access to Travelexs 24/7
Emergency Assistance Services
Second backup card (connected to
the same pool of funds) provided for
FREE. This means noinconvenience
or delay if your original card is
stolen or misplaced
Ability to reload via BPAY anywhere
in the world

VISA ATMs online
Flat $3.75 ATM withdrawal

travel insurance
We hope you have an awesome trip but to
put it bluntly; if something does happen on
your Working Holiday (and it happens all the
time), youll want travel insurance not a
$50,000+ medical bill!
Having an emergency assistance team
of experienced doctors, nurses and case
managers on call to help you 24/7 is why
having the right travel insurance is so
important.
STA Travel Insurance gives you much
more than just medical cover. It also
includes cover for cancellation, emergency
transport and accommodation costs, plus
cover for your belongings should they be
lost, damaged, stolen or delayed.
You wouldnt go camping without a tent
you shouldnt book your holiday without
travel insurance!
THE COVER YOU CAN EXPECT
No complicated plans to choose from, just
great cover you can rely on. Heres some
of the inclusions you can expect with your
international policy:
$Unlimited overseas medical and
dental cover
$Unlimited additional expenses
$Unlimited amendment or
cancellation costs
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
No two travellers are the same, thats why
weve made a policy that lets you do more...
24 hour emergency assistance team
New for old replacement (lost/
stolen/damaged items less than
2 yrs old)
Stay longer extend your policy for
up to 18 months
Easy peasey do all four corners of
the globe on one policy
For the adventurers loads of
adrenalin pumping activities

Sign up to our weekly newsletter by visiting
statravel.com.au to make sure you dont miss out on our
best exclusives and competitions to win free flights!
GET THE BEST PRICE
Weve been helping folks get the best airfare deals since before
the dawn of timeOK, so we exaggerate a little, but we have been
doing this for ages! Our advisers know exactly where to look and
what to check. So talk to one of our travel gurus, or have a look at
our website and find yourself a deal that wont break the bank. To
get you started, here are a few insider tips thatll help you get the
very cheapest price:
Buy an ISIC, IYTC, ITIC card to be eligible for our exclusive
student, under 26 and teacher fares (see page 6).
If you can help it, dont leave it to the last minute. Many of
our best prices sell out quick!
Try and be a little flexible with your dates and check out
flying on a weekday instead of the weekend.
ONE-WAY FLIGHTS
Thinking about working overseas? If you like the idea of paying less
upfront for your flight, let us introduce you to the concept of flying
one-way. Just think; its cheaper now (yippee) and soon enough
youll be lapping it up in your chosen destination, earning plenty
of moolahhey, who says youll want to come back at all, right?!
But when you do decide its time to jet home, one of our 400+ STA
Travel branches across the globe will be just around the corner to
help you.
If being organised is more your thing and youd rather know exactly
when youre coming home, of course therere always our return
flights. Not only do they work out cheaper in the long run, but
weve got some cracking exclusive18 month fares; so you can stay
on working and exploring the big wide world longer, for less!
ADD-ON FLIGHTS
Add-ons are the best, kinda like fries with your burger or a
lemon in your Vodka! They let you get to pretty much anywhere
in the world you want to go. So to make your Working Holiday
even better, just add on one of our many unique sector fares (a
one-way or return flight added onto your international flight).
Doing this means more gallivanting beyond the arrival city of your
international flight! If we really need to convince you, just think
about how hopping over to Dublin to work would be after youve
learned French in Paris and partied on the pristine beaches of the
Greek Islands!
ROUND THE WORLD
This is something we specialise in. We practically invented the
concept of flying Round the World, so weve got a huge range of
exclusive choices and plenty of suggestions for you.
A Round the World flight is the perfect addition to any Working
Holiday. Our fares are totally flexible and last up to 18 months; so
you can work for a year and travel the other six! Pretty awesome.
And theyll save you big bucks too check out a few of our
favourite itineraries over the page...
Flight prices change every single day its crazy. So for the
cheapest most up-to-date info, click statravel.com.au,
call 134 STA or get into your nearest branch.
And dont forget our Round the World Price Beat Guarantee
well beat the lowest comparable RTW airfare, so youll always
get the cheapest price*!

Put those muscles to good use and

embrace your inner-tradey! Monsoon rains
are wreaking havoc on poorly constructed
houses in Vietnam every year, and thats
where you come in. Youll be helping to
re-house as many families as possible on
one of our partner projects south of Ho Chi

Mekong Delta (not to be missed) and meet
amazing locals along the way. Get a great
workout while building a big difference!
Get that warm-fuzzy feeling pumping through

your body when you help out at an orphan
shelter on the outskirts of Phnom Penh.
Poverty is a persistent problem in Cambodia
but you can tackle it head-on by helping to
provide shelter, food, clothing and safety.
Youll be teaching English, working outdoors
and taking care of the gorgeous kids. All
while experiencing the hidden gem that is
Cambodia; an undiluted version of South East
Asia, untroubled by tourists and all YOURS!
Itching to unleash the teacher in you?

Mombasa may be the gateway to the best
safari in the world, but there is another
group of little monsters who need your
attention! Working in local schools, youll
improve the educational lives of young
Kenyans in one of the poorest areas of
the country. In places where resources are
really stretched, classes are understandably
large; so in order to prepare you well

STA Travel (AU) Limited Terms and Conditions

Agency
We are STA Travel (AU) Limited (STA Travel). We sell products and services as an agent on
behalf of airlines, wholesale companies and other service providers including accommodation
and transportation services (Third Party Suppliers). STA Travels role is to assist you to plan your
travel arrangements, facilitate your bookings, and arrange payment and refunds as applicable. STA
Travel is not a provider of any travel products/services and has no responsibility for products or
services provided or not provided by any Third Party Suppliers. We give and make no warranty or
representation regarding the standard of any services or products supplied by Third Party Suppliers
and no person has authority to make any such representation or warranty on behalf of STA Travel.
If for any reason, any Third Party Supplier is unable to provide the products/services you purchased
through STA Travel, your remedy lies against that Third Party Supplier and not STA Travel.
General
These general terms and conditions together with the relevant terms and conditions of the Third
Party Suppliers apply to any travel products/services you purchased through us.
Once you pay for your booking (whether in full or in part):
(a) you acknowledge and agree that you have read and understood these general terms and conditions;
and any terms and conditions imposed by Third Party Suppliers, for whom we act as Agent;
(b) you enter into a legally binding contract to acquire the relevant travel or travel related products
and/or services with the Third Party Suppliers.
(c) you are not at least eighteen years of age then your legal guardian must give consent to this
contract on your behalf.
(d) if you make a booking on behalf of someone, you warrant that you have the authority to accept
and do accept on behalf of that person to be bound by STA Travels general terms and conditions
and the relevant Third Party Suppliers terms and conditions.
Deposits and payment
Deposits are non-refundable. Payment of a deposit enables STA Travel to hold a reservation for
you but does not guarantee the fare and/or price. The fare and/or price can only be guaranteed
once we receive full payment and tickets and/or other travel documents have been issued. STA
Travel will advise you of the date that full payment is required. Additional deposits for certain
travel arrangements may also be required by Third Party Suppliers. Failure to make payment in
full by the due date may result in the forfeiture of any deposit paid. If payment for your booking is
made by credit card, a handling fee is payable as advertised. No handling fee will be charged for
payments made by Debit Card and BPAY. Please note that BPAY may take up to 3 business days
to process, therefore you will need to allow sufficient time for payment to be cleared before the
actual due date. Personal cheque is not accepted for domestic bookings. For all other bookings,
we reserve the right to refuse personal cheques. Personal cheque may take up to 10 business
days to clear. You agree not to stop payment of the cheque even when you cancel a booking. You
agree that STA Travel may apply the proceeds of the cheque to satisfy any liability you may have
to us and the Third Party Suppliers. Please note that even after full payment, the conditions of the
contract between you and the Third Party Suppliers may permit them to increase the cost of your
arrangements. We will pass on any such increase to you.
Documentation
Travel documentation will not be issued until full payment with cleared funds is received. It is your
responsibility to ensure that all of the details on your travel documents are correct and to bring
to our attention any errors or discrepancies as soon as possible but in any event within 72 hours
after STA Travel provides you with your travel documents. STA Travels general practice is to send
documents to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge you
an administration fee if we send you such documents in hard copy form, at your request. All travel
documents are non transferable. It is your responsibility to collect all paper travel documents prior
to departure. Your travel documents are valuable and should be safeguarded as if they were cash.
It is not always possible to replace travel documents in the case of loss, theft, damage etc
Cancellations and Changes
Your contract with your Third Party Suppliers may allow suppliers to cancel or amend bookings. We
will ensure that you are promptly notified of any significant changes, but accept no liability for any
changes or costs incurred which may result. If we make an error in your booking, which gives rise
to a need to significantly change your booking, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible
if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of
arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us,
(we will refund any price difference if the alternative has a lower value), or cancelling your booked
arrangements and receiving a full refund. You agree that this is the only compensation payable in
connection with such an error.

is notified

Despite anything to the contrary in these general terms or conditions, changes beyond our control
to the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to compensate you in any way, if a significant
change is made to your booking for reasons beyond our control. These include:
war, threat of war, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and
nuclear disasters, fire, epidemics, health risks, and changes due to rescheduling or cancellation of
flights by an airline or alteration of the airline or aircraft type; closed or congested airports or ports,
hurricanes and other actual or potential severe weather conditions, and any other similar event.
If you have booked a flight and we are alerted to a significant schedule change by your airline
before you depart from Australia, we will contact you by email to advise you of this. Please ensure
that you have given your contact email address to STA Travel and that you regularly check for
messages before you leave. STA Travel has no control over airline schedule changes and accepts
no liability for costs which may arise as a result of such changes. After you have left Australia,
it is your responsibility to check with the airline that any onward flights you have confirmed are
operating as booked. We strongly recommend that you contact your airline at least 72 hours before
the scheduled departure of each flight to do this. Please note that for some airlines it is mandatory
to confirm with them your intention to fly. If you wish to change your booking and such a change is
permitted and possible, STA Travel will charge you a service fee to process the change. You may
also be charged a service fee by your Third Party Supplier. For changes after departure please see
the Travel Help section of www.statravel.com.au for details of how to request changes. Please
note that all reservation changes are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the
product or service purchased. For changes before departure please contact your original branch
that booked your ticket. The name in your booking must be exactly the same as your passport.
Changes to name details are not allowed by many airlines and other service providers. Whilst we
will do our best to make such a change if necessary, please bear in mind that most airlines and
other service providers treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and
charges would apply. Flights must be taken in the sequence they appear on your ticket or e-ticket
confirmation. If you plan not to take a flight as booked, please contact the airline as far in advance
as possible to discuss your options. If you do not check in on time for a confirmed reservation, the
airline may register you as a no-show, which could result in extra charges and/or your whole
flight itinerary being cancelled and/or render your ticket void. If you cancel your booking, the
cancellation terms and conditions of your Third Party Suppliers will apply as well as STA Travel
fees outlined on your itinerary and receipt. We need to receive from you written notification of
cancellation and your original ticket/voucher before any refund can be considered. If you decide
to cancel arrangements before the balance due date, any deposits paid are non-refundable.

What thoughts conjure up when you hear the words Australias

favourite airline? We could break out in song, but we wontmuch.
Were talking about our good mates at Qantas of course, and they
certainly know how to fly. Theyve been doing it continuously for
longer than any other airline in the world after all over 90 years!
British Airways is one of the worlds biggest airlines, with a

worldwide network that covers more than 154 destinations in 75
countries were talking really big! Over 36 million passengers
choose to fly with them each year. Its a fact; our mates at British
Airways are experts when it comes to flying you off into the
sunset on your European adventure.
Qantas was founded in the Queensland outback in 1920 and is

Australias largest domestic and international airline. Put simply,
Qantas can fly you o/s and back (thats if you come back) in style
from New York - to Rio - to Old London Town, in fact!
While London may be their lovely-jubbly home, dont forget theyre

a stones throw away from some of Europes top attractions. You
can easily add on a side-trip to most of British Airways airfares!
Theyre always travelling, they love being free (come on, youve
got to be singing by now!). Some might say their catchy little tune
is one of the reasons the Qantas name and brand are among the
most recognised in Australia not to mention their reputation for
excellence in safety, operational reliability, engineering &
maintenance and customer service.
And talk about trendsetters from the very start they have been
at the forefront of innovation and progression, from the worlds
first daily scheduled flights to the first fully flat bed. They were
the first global airline to introduce four cabins on long-haul flights
too. Yep, British Airways know how to fly in style and like a best
mate, theyre looking out for you all the way.
The Qantas network currently covers 151 destinations in 38

countries, with a total fleet comprised of over 200 aircraft.
They are also a founding member of the Oneworld alliance group
of airlines and work closely with British Airways (which means
exclusive deals for you!). Add to this their fabulous new A380
airbus with new levels of comfort, innovation and style. Its a lean
mean green machine quieter than todays largest jets and at the
leading edge of fuel efficiency per passenger. Cheers to that.
British Airways prides itself on giving you greater flexibility and

choice, from the cabin you fly in through to how you book your
ticket and check in. They make it easy (which we love) and theyre
up with all the latest technology too; online and mobile check-in
yay. So you can breeze through, kick back and stress less.
And really, what more can we say? Qantas are one of the worlds
leading long distance airlines. So belt out a bit of I still call
Australia home and fly away with Qantas.
Whichever journey you choose, youre in for the highest levels of

service and customer care from British Airways highly trained
crew. Add to that the beauty of competitive fares, extra comfort,
on-demand entertainment and all the little extras that come with
travelling on a leading airline then look no further. Its British
Airways all the way!
Get ready to be greeted with a friendly sawasdee when you step

onboard your flight with THAI. Just like the local smiles in Thailand,
they certainly know how to make you feel right at home.

UK/Europe including Copenhagen, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich,
Athens, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Stockholm, Zurich, Moscow and Oslo.

award winning New Zealand wines. And fancy your own personal inflight concierge? Done! In-flight concierges are onboard to help you
out with any aspect of your journey, no matter what class youre in.
