Choose location around the itinerary
Travel time between the airport, accommodation and appointments matters during recovery. Map each location and ask whether room accessibility or a longer stay may be needed.
Leave room around travel dates
Avoid building the schedule around the cheapest flight alone. Arrival timing, in-person review, recovery checks and return-travel guidance should determine the practical dates.
Keep support and records clear
Know who to contact locally, what documents you will receive and how follow-up works once you are back in Australia.
