Comprehensive Travel Insurance for Australians from SURESAVE

Why all Australians should take out travel insurance before going overseas

For most Australians overseas travel is a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, however, every day our consular officers deal with human tragedies involving the death, injury or hospitalisation of Australians abroad. Each year we handle over 25,000 cases involving Australians in difficulty overseas. This includes over 1,200 hospitalisations, 900 deaths and 50 evacuations of Australians to another location for medical purposes.

All Australians travelling overseas, whether for tourism or business or for short or long stays, are encouraged to register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade before travel. Click Here to register online

Travel Insurance - what you need to know

As the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) state on their website, ‘If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel’. It’s just not worth the risk to travel overseas without insurance cover. Hospital and repatriation costs to get a traveler back home can be horrendously expensive.

There is some excellent information about travel insurance available from the Insurance Council.
