Can I buy a policy if I am NOT an Australian citizen?

For temporary residents of Australia, cover is available, however, only if:

You are a non-permanent resident who holds a valid Medicare card or are covered by an Australian Private Health Insurance policy that satisfies the government health insurance requirements for your visa type; and
You have a home in Australia to which you intend to return; and
Your trip starts and ends in Australia; and
You hold a return ticket to Australia; and
You are aged 89 years and under.

For temporary visitors to Australia, cover is available, however, only if:

You currently reside in Australia
You are covered in Australia by a private health insurance policy that satisfies the Australian government health insurance requirements for your visa type
You purchase your policy before you commence your trip or you satisfy all of the requirements for purchasing a policy while you are already overseas; and
Your visa remains valid beyond the period of your return; and
Your trip starts and ends in Australia; and
You are aged 89 years and under.

In the event of a medical repatriation from overseas, we will return you to Australia.
Medical expenses incurred once you have returned to Australia are not covered on this policy.
It is therefore important that you ensure you have access to long term medical care in Australia.

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