Key Points
  • Some ailments and home remedies common to Filipinos are not easily found in Australia, except sometimes in Filipino shops.
  • Many Filipinos carry their own first aid kit, which often includes ointment, paracetamol, antihistamine, and other over-the-counter medicines.
  • For cleanliness and protection, wipes and hand sanitiser are also essentials that Filipinos make sure to bring along.
