We understand that many Australian travellers are concerned about catching the coronavirus while overseas. Our new COVID-19 travel insurance can provide peace of mind to help you relax and enjoy your much-needed getaway.
If you’re travelling internationally, our travel insurance provides cover for your medical costs if you’re diagnosed with COVID-19 by a qualified medical practitioner. This cover includes costs resulting from any overseas hospital medical treatment, ambulance transportation or repatriation back to Australia.
Certain countries have made travel insurance with medical cover for COVID-19 a requirement for entry. The good news is, our policy meets these requirements.
Entering any country will not be quite as easy as it was before this pandemic existed, but with proper planning, the world is your oyster. We encourage travellers to consider and understand the requirements of airlines, transit, and the countries you are travelling to before booking your trip and purchasing a policy.
If you are uncertain about anything or have questions, please contact our customer service team.

Make sure you check whether your travel providers will refund you. Sometimes, they will return deposits, fares, etc., depending on when you cancel and what your original contract states.
If you aren’t reimbursed, then check the certificate of insurance and the PDS to see whether your circumstances are covered.

In the first instance, you should contact the airline to see if any alternate arrangement can be made or if any compensation may be offered. You should retain any documentation provided by the airline or receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses which you may incur as a result of the delay or cancellation so that you can submit them should you need to make a claim.
