• All international travel for staff must be approved by the relevant Dean, Director or member of the Executive using the UTS Travel Application Form, see http://www.fsu.uts.edu.au/travel/index.html
• If the DFAT advice falls into category 2, deferring non-essential travel, the Dean, Director or Manager must consider carefully whether the intended international travel is essential and ensure they can demonstrate due diligence in their approval. The Risk Management form provides a quick and easy way to do this.....see http://www.fsu.uts.edu.au/pdfs/dfat_category_2.pdf
• It is the traveller's responsibility to monitor and adhere to the relevant DFAT Travel Advice and direction from their Dean/Director/Manager before they travel and while overseas.
• No staff member is under an obligation to undertake any international travel which conflicts with DFAT advice.
• Faculties/Units and Institutes will retain a listing of staff and students travelling overseas.
• Students/staff travelling will be provided with at least one Faculty / Departmental emergency contacts and details of the 24 hour emergency assistance service from the insurer. The UTS overseas travel emergency card can be used for this purpose, each Faculty should have copies of the card or it is available on-line at http://www.fsu.uts.edu.au/pdfs/Overseas_Travel_Emergency_Card.pdf
