How do I get a quote for Australia Inbound travel insurance?
You must be an overseas resident (this travel plan is not available to Australian residents)
- Use ‘Australia Inbound’ as your destination.
- Select your travel dates, from the day you leave home to the day you return to your home.
- Add all the travellers current ages.
- Be sure you can select ‘No’ to the “All travellers live in AU?” question.
Our inbound travel plan is available for overseas residents up to 69 years of age visiting Australia. ‘One Way’ and ‘Already Travelled’ options are not available for international visitors to Australia, on the Inbound travel plan. Your policy must be purchased before you leave your home country and must remain active until you return.
Australian resident already overseas and returning to Australia?
The Australia Inbound plan is for international visitors to Australia. If you are an Australian resident and you have already travelled overseas and require cover for the remainder of your travel until you get home to Australia, you can still get cover with our International Care or Essentials Care travel plans.
To get a quote when you are already overseas, use your current international destination and any other destinations you expect to visit on your way home, just as you would if you were purchasing cover before you left home. Do not use ‘Australia’ or ‘Australia Inbound’ as your destination – these destinations and policy types are for Australians travelling within Australia and international visitors to Australia.
And remember, if you’ve already left home and are on your trip this cover is subject to a 3 day no-cover period. For more information, please head over to our Already Overseas page.
I have visa allowing me to live work or study in Australia, what policy should I buy?
If you are currently living in Australia, and looking for cover for travel within Australia and you are: an Australian citizen with a valid Australian Medicare card, or you hold a visa allowing you to live, work or study in Australia then you should use the Australian Domestic travel policy.
