Hobart is one of the safest and healthiest cities in the world. However, as it is with any major cities, crime does happen. It is advisable to take certain precautions and maintain vigilance as you would in any other unfamiliar city.
Travel insurance to cover theft and medical expenses is highly recommended. Avoid carrying large sums of cash and important documents, as pick-pocketing and bag snatching can happen.
Avoid sun burn by using sunscreen with a high SPF. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from a yellow fever endemic area. Immunisation against Hepatitis B and rabies are recommended. Other routine and recommended vaccinations include MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella and polio.
