Do you cover for overseas medical evacuation?

The following is general advice only and does not take into account your individual needs, objectives or financial situation. Consider the PDS prior to deciding whether this policy is appropriate for you and your trip. 

Overseas emergency medical evacuation and repatriation is provided under our overseas policies for unexpected and unforeseen medical emergencies and provides for you to be evacuated to a medical facility or repatriated back to Australia if you are seriously injured or sick while overseas.

Depending on your circumstances, and if it is medically necessary: if you cannot travel because of an injury or sickness that occurred or manifested itself while on the trip, resulting in a life threatening or other serious condition, cover may also be provided for a nominated person to stay with you and/or escort you back to Australia.

Note: The nominated travelling companion, if approved by us, must escort you for 100% of your repatriation back to Australia.  

As each individual’s circumstances are different, in the event of a claim, our claims team will assess each claim on a case by case basis.

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