Included Countries

Global Safety Net Reports are currently available for 102 countries, which are divided into six regions:

  • AFRICA (9)
  • AMERICAS (28)
  • ASIA (19)
  • EUROPE (28)
  • MIDDLE EAST (8)
  • OCEANIA (10)

A number of factors were taken into consideration when deciding which countries would be included. The most pertinent factor was the likelihood of Australian passport holders to visit these countries. Countries that are currently undergoing conflict or civil strife, such as Afghanistan and the Ivory Coast were intentionally disregarded. Also disregarded were countries which discourage tourism through extreme immigration conditions, such as Bhutan and Saudi Arabia. Finally, regions that are technically countries, but lack the modern hallmarks of a state, such as the Holy See and Liechtenstein, have also been excluded from the reports as they operate within the framework of other states, in these cases Italy and Switzerland respectively.
