Important information
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has upgraded their travel advice to Do Not Travel (Level 4) for all overseas destinations, as well as implementing domestic travel restrictions. In light of this, unfortunately we will no longer issue new travel insurance policies, effective 25 March 2020. Of course, we will closely monitor this situation and we hope to support you with your travel again soon.
If you purchased travel insurance from 18 March – 31 March AND haven’t travelled or otherwise utilised your policy you may eligible for a full refund on your Travel Insurance policy. Please refer to our FAQs for more information.
We’re here for you, so please check back regularly for trips planned for a later date.
