Welcome to Fast Cover

Please note: The entity that referred you does not act for Fast Cover and may receive remuneration from us. You can ask them or us for more details. Make sure any information listed in any quote provided remains accurate and if not, please change it on our website or you can contact us.

Select or type the country or countries you are travelling to. Stopovers of less than 48 hours are automatically covered and do not need to be specified.

With the impact of COVID-19 on travel and health systems around the world, we currently only provide cover for countries where we can ensure there is acceptable medical treatment available and we are able to arrange repatriation.

We do not cover any country or area that has a smartraveller.gov.au status of Do Not Travel.

The list of countries we can provide cover for is constantly monitored and is updated regularly.

The Depart Date (from) is the date you leave your home, the Return Date (to) is the date you arrive at your home. These dates are based on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).

Please note your arrival home may be up to 2 days later than the date you commenced your return journey due to time zone differences.

Select the kind of policy that best suits your trip. Dependants travelling alone should take an adult policy.

Single
Covers 1 adult and up to 10 dependants who are under 21 years of age, not in full-time employment and travelling with the adult for 100% of the trip.

Duo
Covers 2 adults and no dependants. The two travellers do not have to be related, they just have to be travelling on the same itinerary for at least 75% of the trip. Discount applies when both travellers are listed on the same Duo policy, versus two Single policies.

Family
Covers 2 adults who are travelling together for at least 75% of their trip and up to 10 dependants who are under 21 years of age, not in full-time employment and travelling with at least one of the adults listed on the certificate of insurance for 100% of the person travelling’s itinerary. A Family policy covers:

you, your spouse (or someone legally recognised in Australia as your de facto partner) and your dependants; or
you, your spouse (or someone legally recognised in Australia as your de facto partner) and your grandchildren; or
you, your son or daughter and your grandchildren.

Benefit limits shown in the Table of Benefits in the PDS apply to the total of all claims combined, regardless of the number of persons the claims relate to.

We are currently only able to issue travel insurance policies to travellers who in the past 7 days, have not tested positive to COVID-19 or experienced COVID-19 like symptoms. This is due to the different and ever-changing testing requirements for airlines, cruise lines, visas and entry requirements for countries including Australia.

Yes
This means at the time of purchasing your policy, any adult or dependant you are purchasing this policy for or their household members, have in the last 7 days:

tested positive for COVID-19 with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or is still awaiting a test result; or
tested positive for COVID-19 with a rapid antigen test or other home test kit; or
experienced COVID-19 like symptoms.

If any of the above is true, you are not eligible to buy a policy. If you do buy a policy, the policy is void and there is no cover for any claims.

No
This means at the time of purchasing your policy, all adults and dependants you are purchasing this policy for and their household members, have not in the last 7 days:

tested positive for COVID-19 with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test (or is still awaiting a test result); or
tested positive for COVID-19 with a rapid antigen test or other home test kit; or
experienced COVID-19 like symptoms.

We are currently only able to issue travel insurance policies for travellers who have had two or more vaccinations for COVID-19 at the time of policy purchase, unless they are 0-17 years of age. This is due to the different and ever-changing vaccination status requirements for airlines, cruise lines, visas and entry into countries.

Yes (2 or more vaccinations for COVID-19)
This means at the time of purchasing your policy, all travellers who are 18 years of age or older that you are purchasing this policy for have had at least two vaccinations for COVID-19.

While more than two COVID-19 vaccinations are not required to be eligible to buy a policy, you may wish to consider the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommendations regarding additional COVID-19 boosters you are eligible for, prior to your travel, as COVID-19 may still be considered a health risk when travelling.

All vaccinations must be any combination of vaccinations currently approved for use or recognised by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care Therapeutic Goods Administration.

No (1 or 0 vaccinations for COVID-19)
This means any of the travellers who are 18 years of age or older have not received any vaccinations or only had one vaccination or have received vaccinations that are not vaccinations currently approved for use or recognised by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care Therapeutic Goods Administration.

You are not eligible to buy a policy if you are 18 years of age or older and are not double vaccinated for COVID-19 at the time of policy purchase. Having a COVID-19 vaccination exemption does not make you eligible to buy a policy as we are unable to conduct a medical screening to consider your personal circumstances. Proof of double vaccination for COVID-19 at the time of policy purchase may be required for all claims directly or indirectly related to COVID-19.

Vaccination requirements will change over time as the travel industry gains more experience. You can ask us for more details. In the meantime, the Insurance Council of Australia can advise other insurers who may be able to provide you with cover.

If you have been diagnosed, treated for, undergone surgery for or suffered from, at any time, any of the following medical conditions listed below, we are currently unable to offer you travel insurance:

Diabetes (Type 1)
Cardiovascular disease (including but not limited to heart, blood vessel conditions, stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, or surgery including but not limited to stents, bypasses, pacemakers and atrial fibrillation).
Weakened immune system (means if you are in an immunocompromised state due to a medical condition, medication or treatment and includes if you are undergoing immunosuppressive therapy).
Chronic kidney disease (includes conditions associated with impaired or reduced kidney function including if you are currently on kidney dialysis or have had a transplant).
Chronic liver disease (conditions associated with the deterioration of liver functions including if you have cirrhosis, fibrosis of the liver or have had a transplant).
Chronic lung disease including persistent lung disorders such as mild or chronic asthma (only included as a chronic lung disease if you are aged 60 and over), emphysema, chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis.
Conditions which require you to take prescribed blood thinning medication (including aspirin).
Any symptoms under investigation including tests or scans or awaiting diagnosis.

If you have any of the above medical conditions, we are sorry we are unable to provide you with travel insurance. The Insurance Council of Australia may be able to suggest other companies who may be able to provide you with cover.

If you do not have any of the above medical conditions, you are eligible to take out a policy with us, HOWEVER, we may not be able to provide you with cover for some other pre-existing medical conditions that you have. You should read the PDS carefully as we have a list of Pre-Existing Medical Conditions that we can provide cover for, and understand there is no cover for any claims related to or arising from any Pre-Existing Medical Conditions that are not listed as covered and our terms and conditions.
