For most Australians overseas travel is a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, however, some travel experiences can end in tragedy. Each year almost 1000 Australian travellers die overseas, usually through illness or accident. Making a living will and appointing a durable power of attorney for healthcare can ensure that decisions will stay in the hands of trusted people that you chose.

If you are over 18, you should consider making a will and selecting a durable power of attorney before you travel.
