If you are a temporary resident of Australia, you would be eligible to purchase a policy with us, only if: 

• You are a non-permanent resident who holds a valid Medicare card or are covered by an Australian Private Health Insurance policy that satisfies the government health insurance requirements for your visa type; and 

• You have a home in Australia to which you intend to return; and 

• Your trip starts and ends in Australia; and 

• You hold a return ticket to Australia; and 

• You are aged 89 years and under. 

Note:

• In the event of a medical repatriation from overseas, we will return you to Australia. 

• Medical expenses incurred once you have returned to Australia are not covered on this policy. 

• It is therefore important that you ensure you have access to long term medical care in Australia.

If you do not satisfy the above conditions, you cannot buy a Travel Insurance policy. If you do, it will be INVALID. You can contact The Insurance Council of Australia, who may be able to give you a list of travel insurers who may be able to provide you with cover.

Cover is subject to the policy terms, conditions, limits and exclusions in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
