Due to the possible threat of eruption of Mount Agung in Bali, the University decided to suspend all University travel to Indonesia on September 29. On October 10 the suspension was revised to Bali only. University travel to Bali will continue to be suspended until further notice.
Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNBP) has extended the highest alert status for Mount Agung in Bali until October 26 due to ongoing volcanic activity.
Officials said 360 volcanic earthquakes occurred in the area during a six-hour period on October 14.
UQ travellers planning to travel to Bali in the near future should make appropriate arrangements to cancel or postpone travel. UQ travellers can contact Campus Travel to re-arrange their travel plans.
What if I have booked travel to Bali but not through Campus Travel?
If travellers booked directly with a travel supplier other than Campus Travel, the traveller will need to contact the supplier themselves. Some airlines are offering refunds or changes, but this depends on the supplier.
