Five fast facts when travelling to Fiji

  1. 1. From the 14th of February, 2023, international travellers to Fiji no longer require proof of COVID-19 vaccination and travel insurance to enter Fiji. You can get the latest updates on Fiji from Smartraveller.
  2. 2. Nearly a quarter of people assume the government will pay their medical bills overseas in an emergency setting. But if you do get sick or injure yourself in Fiji, you’d have to pay for all medical expenses including hospital visits, medicine, and even medical evacuation.
  3. 3. November through to April is the wet season, which is when there is the highest risk of cyclones in the Fijian islands, but they can occur at other times too.
  4. 4. Mosquito-borne illnesses (including dengue fever and Zika) are common in Fiji.  Protect yourself against mosquito bites.
  5. 4. One in six claims made by 1Cover customers that have visited Fiji were for lost or damaged belongings.
  6. 5. You must have medical travel insurance that covers international travel including Covid-19 before travelling to Fiji.  You can count on 1Cover.

Travel insurance can't prevent the unexpected. But with 1Cover, you'll have someone there when one thing goes wrong. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about travel insurance for Fiji.

Fiji Travel Insurance FAQs

  • Will You Pay My Hospital Bills If I get sick or injured in Fiji?
  • If you are hospitalised, or if you are treated as an outpatient, or if the total cost of your treatment will exceed $1,000, please contact our emergency assistance service as soon as possible to obtain prior approval.

    In circumstances where the claim is approved, we can then provide written guarantees of payment of reasonable expenses for emergency hospitalisation that may be required while you are in Fiji. Please refer to the PDS and policy schedule for any relevant exclusions.

  • Will You Fly Me Home If I Get Sick or Injured in Fiji?
  • If you have purchased international travel insurance cover with 1Cover, we would cover your medical transfer or evacuation.  Should the need arise, we would bring you back to Australia with appropriate medical supervision.

    Cover is also available under these plans for the return to Australia of your dependants if they are left without supervision following your hospitalisation or evacuation.

    All expenses for medical evacuation must first be approved by 1Cover. 

    This only applies to the plans listed above, as there is no cover for medical/hospital expenses or repatriation under Domestic plans.

  • Will I Be Covered If I Ride A Scooter, Moped Or Motorcycle While In Fiji?
  • If you are in control of a motorcycle or scooter with an engine capacity greater than 50cc, you must hold a current, valid Australian motorcycle license. 

    You also need to be aware that cover will not be provided to you if you are a passenger on a moped, scooter or motorcycle, and the person in control does not have a valid motorcycle license for Fiji.  

    Please note that it’s compulsory to wear a helmet while riding a motorbike or scooter in many countries. Regardless of local requirements, 1Cover advises you to wear a motorcycle helmet whenever you are a rider or passenger on a scooter or motorbike. 

  • What Is A Dependant?
  • Dependants are your children or grandchildren not in full-time employment, who are under the age of 19. In order to be classed as a dependant, the child must be travelling with their parent or grandparent at all times.

    If you have a child under 16 years of age that requires a single adult policy you will need to contact our customer service centre to discuss your options.

    Whether it’s two adults, multiple adults or just a single adult travelling, we allow for an unlimited amount of dependants to be added to a policy. 

  • Can I Apply To Extend My Travel Insurance Policy While I’m Away?
  • Yes, of course. If you want to extend your policy while you’re in Fiji, the easiest way to do this is via the online Policy Manager.

    You'll need your policy number (available in the email confirming your policy), and a few other simple details. Once logged in you can extend the duration of your trip, add destinations, or buy add ons/extras.

    Make sure you extend your policy before it expires (please keep in mind Australian AEST/AEDST).

    If you have trouble, you can email us at [email protected].

    Please note there may be instances where a policy extension is not available.

  • What Happens If I Encounter Terrorism Or Political Unrest in Fiji?
  • In the event of a terrorist attack or political unrest, there is no cover for cancellation fees and lost deposits, disruption of journey or alternative transport expenses.

    However, if you do get caught up in an unforeseen event while you are in Fiji and you are injured, cover is available for all necessary medical & hospital expenses.

  • Do I need A Visa To enter Fiji? 
  • Australian citizens planning to visit Fiji for a holiday do not need to apply for a visitor visa, as Australia is on the visa-waiver list. There are some exceptions to this rule, which regard the long of your stay. 

    If you have been sentenced to imprisonment, deported from any country, or have been involved in known criminal or terrorist groups, then you should contact the nearest High Commission or Consulate of Fiji well in advance of travel for advice on visa requirements.

  • Can I Choose My Excess?
  • Sure. If you choose a lower excess, it means you'll pay less if you need to claim, but you'll pay a little bit more upfront. If you opt for a higher excess, it means you'll pay less now and a little bit more if you need to claim.

  • I travel to Fiji a few times a year. What’s the best policy for me?
  • Our Frequent Traveller policy allows you to take as many trips to Fiji and other destinations under the one policy for 12 months - and enjoy comprehensive cover on each one.

    Find out more about our annual travel insurance policies here.

  • Do you cover seniors travelling to Fiji?
  • We can provide cover to people of all ages. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions we may require a little more information from you and some exclusions may apply. See here for more details.

  • Am I covered if i'm pregnant when i'm travelling to Fiji?
    • If you're travelling to Fiji while pregnant, you are covered for single foetus pregnancies, up to, and inclusive of, the 24th week of gestation. For multiple pregnancies, you'll be covered up to and inclusive of the 19th week of gestation. If you have had complications from your pregnancy, you’ll need to complete a medical screening.

      We will assess your application and decide whether and to what extent we can offer you insurance for your pregnancy and/or journey. If you have not told us about the circumstances of your pregnancy when you were required to do so, we may refuse your claim or reduce it to the amount we would have paid had you given us the required information.

      Please note: we will not pay any medical expenses for:
      a) Regular antenatal care;
      b) Childbirth at any gestation; or
      c) Care of the newborn child. 

      Find more here. 

  • Am I Covered For Travel Interruptions Caused By Cyclones And Other Natural Disasters?
  • Travel insurance provides cover for weather events as long as they are unforeseen. The most common types of natural disasters in Fiji are cyclones, storms, and flooding. Our policies do not cover claims for losses caused by an event that you were aware of at the time of purchasing your policy.

    Once an event has become published in the mass media, it is expected that you have purchased your insurance with this knowledge in mind. 1Cover will, where possible, issue travel warnings in relation to such large scale events and the dates and times after which they are not seen as an unforeseen event.

  • Can I Get Extra Cover For My High-Value Items?
  • Laptop computers, cameras, mobile phones…they're essentials at home and at times, on holiday too. That’s why you can choose a bit of extra protection for your can’t-live-without items. All you need to do is include and specify certain high-value items that aren't automatically covered when you're buying your policy.

    Note: the items cannot be older than 12 months, and you can't specify items like jewellery, watches, bicycles and watercraft (apart from surfboards).

The One thing These Aussies Needed in Fiji

 

Cherie's Cruising Disaster 

Bad weather forced Cherie’s South Pacific cruise ship to skip two of its planned stops in Fiji. She thought she’d wasted her money and was so disappointed.

But because Cherie had 1Cover’s Cruise Pack, she was reimbursed close to $1,000.
 

It’s nice to have back-up when things happen on holiday.
 
 

Amanda's Sick Child 

While on an island holiday in Fiji, Amanda noticed a bad rash on her young son’s body. The resort doctor recommended he be transported to the nearest hospital in Nadi. A helicopter with a doctor was arranged and Amanda and her son were quickly transferred to the mainland hospital, where he was diagnosed with chickenpox.

We were able to cover all travel, hospital and medication so that Amanda’s son could get treatment.
 

Such a horrible experience, but thankfully he's safe. 
 

Linda's holiday Disappointment 

Right before her big family holiday to Fiji, Linda had a fall in her garden and ended up in hospital with a broken leg in three places. Her doctors told her she would not be able to travel for several months, and her holiday had to be postponed.

1Cover covered all cancellation and rescheduling costs so Linda was able to make rearrangements with ease.
 

The person I spoke to was SO helpful and reasonable.
