Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef – Queensland, Australia
Years of health and safety experience
Whether your son or daughter has traveled the world already or will be stepping onto a plane for the first time, we know your first concern is their health and safety during their study abroad experience. For over 30 years, AUIP has been providing programs with a proactive, detailed risk management structure. Your student’s program is supported by extensive emergency action plans, safety reviews, an on-site orientation, 24/7 emergency call support to in-region AUIP staff, and a program handbook with tips and resources to encourage him/her to be a savvy and responsible traveler. These services complement and supplement the study abroad health and safety protocols of your son or daughter’s home institution, which provides a pre-departure orientation and overseas medical insurance. Our staff members have years of industry experience focused specifically on faculty-led programs and work closely with our partner institutions to deliver special attention to the health and safety, and overall well-being of your student.
It was nice that AUIP showed us exactly where our daughter would be staying. We were able to look up where she was going to be and could follow her on her program along the way.

In a health and safety emergency
In the event of an emergency on an AUIP faculty-led program, your first point of contact is the study abroad office of your student’s home institution. Around-the-clock contact numbers should be available on their website, voicemail recording, or by calling campus police.
AUIP is also on call 24/7 for emergencies throughout your program. For contact information, click here.
