Repatriation Cover

If you’re injured or sick when you’re travelling, Fast Cover have a 24/7 emergency overseas medical assistance team that will be able to organise repatriation if they deem it necessary for you to return home to Australia for treatment.

The emergency medical assistance team can organise your transport to your home in Australia and for you to be accompanied by a registered and approved nurse if required.

Overseas Emergency Medical & Hospital Expenses

This benefit provides cover for unexpected overseas medical expenses such as doctor’s consultations, prescribed medications such as antibiotics, hospitalisation and medical treatment.

In serious cases, you may also be repatriated home to Australia if it's deemed necessary.

24 Hour Emergency Assistance

The 24/7 emergency medical assistance team can provide you with support, not just in a medical emergency, but if you are unsure of where to get help while you’re overseas.

Hospital Cash Allowance

Your policy may be able to provide you with some extra cash if you’re hospitalised for more than a certain period to cover any daily hospital expenses.

Pre-existing Medical Conditions

Some pre-existing medical conditions can be covered by travel insurers automatically or they may require you to complete a medical screening. If you have a pre-existing medical condition and wish to be covered for it, you should look for an IEC travel insurance that can provide you with cover.

Personal Liability

Every so often, a traveller can become involved in a legal case regarding someone’s death or injury or damage to property. The personal liability benefit may provide cover for settling or defending a claim against you, or the payment of compensation.

Accidental Death

A death benefit can be paid to your estate if you become injured during your IEC holiday and die within 12 months, or if you’re travelling and your transport sinks, crashes or disappears and you’re presumed dead and your body isn’t found within 12 months.

Loss of Income

If you become disabled while travelling for the IEC after suffering an injury, such as from a motorcycling accident or you slip and fall over, then you may be entitled to a weekly benefit from your travel insurer.

Theft of Cash

Travellers are advised to take particular care of their wallet when they travel on the IEC. If someone does steal your money or belongings off your person, you can make a claim and be reimbursed if this benefit is included in your policy.
