I recommend that your friend discuss all her concerns with her employer. If she really loves the job and happy to wait a bit for her employment contract to be finalised, she should at least make sure that all her concerns regarding the overseas travel are addressed for her by the employer (e.g. insurance coverage, airfares, accommodation, travel allowance, etc.).
It is very unusual not to be paid after a month of working with a company. It makes me wonder what terms and conditions she agreed to when the position was offered to her. Any verbal agreement that has taken place is legally binding if she already commenced work on the basis of those terms (Australian legislation). Global companies operating in Australia still has to comply to Australian employment law.
Perhaps she can forward a summary of the terms and conditions she agreed to when she accepted the role, accompanied by a request that she would appreciate it being formalised through a written employment contract.
