What is 'remote area evacuation' for an Australian cruise?

Remote area evacuation provides cover for any necessary private transport (such as a tourist helicopter) to transfer you to medical transport if you are seriously sick or injured on your Australian cruise. 

Note:

• You MUST contact our Emergency Assistance Team on 02 8320 7999 to organise this, or the AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority) on 1800 641 792 / +61 2 6230 6811 to arrange the evacuation. A helicopter or seaplane company should NOT be contacted directly prior to speaking to Fast Cover Emergency Assistance or AMSA. Failure to do so may result in your claim being unpaid.
• There is no cover for medical costs in Australia, including air ambulance (plane or helicopter), the Royal Flying Doctor Service or road ambulance as the cruise is a domestic cruise.

Cover is subject to the policy terms, conditions, limits and exclusions in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
