Travel alert: Coronavirus (COVID-19) is not covered under our travel policy. Read this travel warning for more information. In accordance with the Australian Government's travel restrictions, we have taken the difficult decision to temporarily suspend the sale of travel insurance to new customers.

We are temporarily ceasing sales of Travel Insurance

Like many other companies in Australia and around the world, we’ve had to make some changes due to the unforeseen impact of COVID-19.

In accordance with the Australian Government’s travel restrictions and due to the complex and unpredictable nature of travel currently, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend sales of new Travel Insurance policies until further notice.

We’re hopeful that the global response to COVID-19 will see us all travelling again soon. In the meantime, if you’re an existing policyholder and do require access to assistance or our policy documents, please view the resources below.
