Yes, it is allowed, this is completely common practice, as there are no restrictions on carrying medications in the cabin of a plane to/from Australia. But to avoid difficulties, you need to follow a few simple but strict rules.

Australian customs and other countries control the import of medications, and here's what you need to know so that your baggage and carry-on luggage don't raise unnecessary questions:

  • Medications for yourself. It is allowed to transport the necessary amount for the duration of the trip.
  • Keep in original packaging. This is a key requirement. Blister packs, containers, and usage instructions must be factory-made. Loose medications in a bag will immediately raise suspicions.
  • A doctor's prescription is your main document. If the medication requires a prescription, especially potent, psychotropic, or containing hormones, be sure to bring a prescription or doctor's note with a seal. It's better if it is translated into English. This will confirm that the medications are intended for your own needs, not for sale.

Also remember the main restriction for carry-on luggage: transporting liquids in containers larger than 100 ml in the cabin of a plane is not allowed, this also includes creams, ointments, toothpaste, etc. If you have such medications, they need to be placed in checked baggage.

And finally, be moderate with the quantity and weight of medications to avoid unintentionally exceeding the allowable limits for carry-on luggage according to your ticket. Usually, you are allowed to carry items with a total weight of no more than 7 kilograms in carry-on luggage, but this rule may vary among individual airlines and different fare plans, so check it based on your plane ticket before the trip.
