Can I take medicines, liquids and batteries to Melbourne?
Check airport security rules, airline dangerous-goods rules and destination medicine-import rules separately. Keep essential medicines appropriately labelled and check whether a prescription or permit is required. Lithium battery rules depend on capacity and device type; do not put a spare battery in checked luggage without checking the applicable rule. A medicine allowed at home may be restricted abroad.
