Prior to accepting any offer made by this organisation it is recommended that you:

* investigate receiving adequate insurance to cover yourself in the case of an accident (Personal Accident Insurance) or causing an accident to another person or product (Public Liability / Product Liability Insurance). The organisation may not provide the necessary insurance. In most cases you will need to purchase travel insurance which specifically covers you in the case of undertaking unpaid work during your trip.

* clarify with the organisation any costs to be covered by yourself.

* check the "Travel Advice" page provided by the Federal Government - http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/ - for overseas travel advice and warnings.
