Frequently asked questions

Travel insurance is useful for travellers domestically and abroad as it may offer financial protection against unforeseen disruptions that may affect your trip. These include trip cancellation, medical expenses, lost luggage and emergency assistance. Notably, medical and dental expenses make up nearly one-third of international claims.3

Contrary to the belief of 43% of Australian travellers, neither the Australian Government nor Medicare will cover overseas medical expenses, despite the government handling over 20,000 cases each year, including those requiring hospitalisation or evacuation. This is a compelling reason for travel insurance. With Australia Post's affordable travel insurance policies, you may be covered for a wide range of possibilities plus access to a 24-hour emergency assistance team.
