Why Buy Travel Insurance?
When you book a holiday, we strongly recommend that you consider travel insurance to protect you against unforseen problems or mishaps. Without this protection, your long-awaited holiday could turn into an expensive disaster.
It will give you protection against out-of-pocket costs relating to Cancellation, Medical and Dental expenses, additional expenses due to:
- illness,
- loss of luggage or travel documents,
- delayed luggage,
- lost or stolen money,
- rental car insurance excesses,
- travel delays,
- personal liability,
- death & disability.
In addition you will also receive 24-hour travel assistance.
Covering the cost of treatment overseas is very expensive and buying travel insurance with good quality cover should be a priority. The Australian Government has signed Reciprocal Health Care Agreements with:
- New Zealand,
- U.K,
- Ireland,
- Sweden,
- Netherlands,
- Finland,
- Italy,
- Malta and
- Norway,
which means that as an Australian resident you are entitled to assistance with the cost of medical treatment to cover any immediately necessary treatment you require in these countries.
However, these agreements do not cover the cost of ongoing medical treatment, ambulances or other transport you may require, including repatriation to Australia, nor do they replace the need for comprehensive travel insurance.

Please note that the information above is only a guide to the cover available and the on-line travel insurance brochure should be read to receive a full understanding of the cover offered and the conditions attached to that cover.
