Pre-existing medical conditions are conditions that you have been diagnosed with prior to purchasing your policy. You’ll need to tell us if:

• — You have a diagnosed medical condition that you have received treatment, medication or medical advice in the past 5 years
• — You are waiting on medical tests or treatments
• — Your medical practitioner has advised you not to travel for medical reasons
• — You are travelling to receive medical treatment overseas

We can then determine if we can cover your pre-existing medical condition under our policy^. If we can’t, you’ll still be covered for other incidents, illnesses and injuries (just not ones related to your condition).

Were you all ready to depart or fly into Australia on your return trip only to find that your travel had been delayed by more than 12 hours by your airline? Maybe due to bad weather, a breakdown or a strike? 

If this happens, we’ll reimburse you the cost of your necessary additional meals and accommodation expenses, up to the limit in your specific policy (keep in mind that this won’t cover you if you miss a connecting flight).

Baggage and valuables can become lost, stolen or damaged during your travels. We’ll cover the cost of repairing or replacing these items if you experience an incident, up to the amount listed in your policy cover. 

Remember that items like laptops, phones, tablets, cameras and video cameras will all have ‘sub-limits’ – or limits of their own. You’ll also need to purchase Standard or Top policies to get cover for these specific items.

Having your baggage delayed by a carrier can be pesky. If you discover your baggage has been delayed for more than 24 hours (on any flight that is not your final return trip to Australia), we’ll cover the essential items you need to buy in the interim, such as toiletries, clothes etc.

Unfortunately, accidents can happen when on holiday. If yours is caused by external factors only and results in certain permanent disabilities, we’ll pay you the sum listed in your policy. For more information check your PDS. 

If you experience an accident that also prevents you from working full-time after you return to Australia, we’ll pay you a portion of your average lost income. More info on this can be found in your PDS.

If you’re involved in an accident overseas that harms another individual or causes property damage or loss, the financial and legal repercussions can be significant. 

Cover in this area provides you with up to $3 million for costs in situations where you are found to be legally liable. We’ll also provide you with legal representatives to handle your defence or prosecution.

Leaving your furry friend (cat or dog) behind while you travel? No worries! 

If your flight is delayed by more than 24 hours on your final flight home and your pet is in a kennel or cattery, we’ll cover the additional boarding costs up to the limits in your policy.

Excesses are amounts that you need to pay before we can pay you out for any approved claim.

• — The standard excess on all of our policies^ is $200
• — You can choose a lower excess of $0 if you wish (which will make your premium slightly higher).
