TRAVEL INSURANCE

Regardless of how well prepared, healthy and fit you are - if you cannot afford travel insurance, you cannot afford to travel. Overseas medical costs are not covered by Medicare.

You are strongly advised to take out comprehensive travel insurance. You should make sure it covers all medical expenses for injury or illness, as well as theft of valuables, damage to baggage, and cancellations or interruptions to flight plans. Fully disclose any pre-existing medical conditions in writing. It will save you worry and possible financial hardship. Medical costs overseas can be in the tens of thousands of dollars and many families have been burdened financially in paying these costs.

Always read the Product Disclosure Statement carefully and ensure that you understand exactly what your travel insurance covers.

Be sure to confirm all details with your travel consultant and receive written confirmation of your policy.

If you are planning to rely on the travel insurance provided by your credit card, you should, before travelling, obtain written confirmation that you are covered and of what exactly the insurance covers.

You may be able to obtain travel insurance for yourself and your immediate family or travelling partner under the one policy. Cover, however, varies from policy to policy.
