Electricity

Electrical current is 240 Volts, 50Hz. The Australian three (or two) flat pin plug is standard. Electricity supply is not stable, so visitors should expect frequent power cuts.

Language

The native language is Nauruan, but English is widely spoken on the island and is used for commercial and governmental purposes.

Health

Travellers are recommended to get hepatitis A and B vaccinations, a typhoid vaccination and a rabies vaccination if they plan on spending a lot of time outdoors, and may be at risk of animal bites. They are also advised to be up to date with their MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and tetanus-diptheria vaccinations.

There have been outbreaks of dengue fever in the past, so visitors are advised to take precautions against insect bites. Visitors should be careful about food and drink consumption. Buying food and water from the main local stores and restaurants is the best way to prevent food poisoning.

There is one hospital on the island, the Republic of Nauru Hospital, which deals with most medical problems, but major surgical operations are conducted in Australia. Travel insurance is highly recommended. If visitors require any medication on their travels, it is best to bring it with them, in the original packaging, with a signed and dated letter from their doctor detailing exactly what it is and why they need it.

Local customs

The people of Nauru have family-based values, bolstered by a strong Christian ethos, and visitors should not be surprised to hear prayers at most public gatherings. Traditionally a matrilineal society, women are greatly respected and children are often cared for by the larger community. Because of the political and social connections to Australia, Nauru's social etiquette has been increasingly influenced by Australian norms, meaning western tourists will find basic social interaction quite familiar.
