Am I covered if my trip/travel is affected by a natural disaster?

Your policy* provides cover towards the cost of travel arrangements if your scheduled or connecting transport is cancelled, delayed, rescheduled or diverted because of a natural disaster.

Please note however cover is subject to policy terms, conditions and exclusions. Cover may depend on whether the natural disaster was unforeseen when you booked the travel and when you purchased the insurance, and whether the circumstances giving rise to any claim arose in circumstances where travel was undertaken against the advice or warning by any government or official body or where the mass media had indicated the existence or potential existence of circumstances that may affect the travel.

*The Basics policy does not provide this cover

What happens if a country I am travelling to is assigned a 'Do Not Travel' status by the Australian Government?

Your policy does NOT provide cover for claims arising from or associated with travel to countries or parts of a country for which a 'Do Not Travel' warning has been released by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or any other government or official body, and where you did not take appropriate action to avoid or minimise any potential claim under your policy.

Whether or not any cancellation or other costs you may incur as a result of cancelling or postponing your trip following the issue of a 'Do Not Travel' warning are covered by your policy will depend on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) whether your travel arrangements are or would be affected by the event or circumstance giving rise to the warning, and whether the warning has arisen due to an event that is otherwise excluded from cover under your policy (such as an act of war, disease epidemic, etc). In deciding what action to take in response to a 'Do Not Travel' warning, you should carefully consider your policy terms, conditions and exclusions.

How long am I covered for?

The period you are insured for is set out in the Certificate of Insurance and varies depending on the length of your trip and the policy type that you have purchased.

If you have purchased your policy before you departed Australia: 

• The cover for Benefit 5 – Trip Cancellation Expenses begins from the time the policy is issued.
• Cover for all other benefits begins on the date of departure as stated on your Certificate of Insurance. If your policy was purchased while you while you are already overseas:
• There is no cover under any section for the first 48 hours from the time the policy is issued. This is your “waiting period”. This means there is no cover arising from events that happen within the waiting period.  Cover for all benefits beings immediately following your waiting period. 

For all policies:

• Cover ends on the date of return set out on your Certificate of Insurance, or the time the policy otherwise ends in accordance with its terms, whichever happens first.

If you return home early for any reason, cover from your policy will be suspended from the time your return to your home until the time you leave your home to continue your trip.  you must have 14 days remaining of the period of insurance as noted on your Certificate of Insurance.  Following the resumption of your trip your policy will remain valid until the end date shown on your Certificate of Insurance or your permanent return home, whichever comes first.  We will not pay any costs in relation to your return to Australia unless the costs are covered by this policy.
