Travel from Australia by both Australians and non-Australians

Your domestic private health insurance will not cover you outside Australia. Overseas medical, and particularly hospital costs can be crippling, and in many countries the standard of health cover may not be to our required levels.

Good travel insurance will not only cover costs of treatment and hospitalisation, but if deemed necessary, will cover costs of repatriation to where first-class treatment can be obtained.
Travel insurance will also cover loss of luggage, personal effects, and travel documents, plus cancellation costs, travel delays and disruptions, hire car damage excess, personal liability and much more.
