The UK and Australia have a reciprocal healthcare arrangement. This means if you're a British citizen resident in the UK and travelling with a British passport in Australia you are entitled to a limited level of subsidised health services from Medicare. You must enrol with a local Medicare office.
But this only covers essential medical attention; it won't cover treatment for pre-existing conditions or anything that doesn't require urgent treatment.
If you’re not covered under the reciprocal healthcare arrangements between Australia and the UK, the cost of emergency medical treatment can be very high. So, it’s important to have Comprehensive Travel Insurance before you start your trip.
When you’re off to Australia, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday comfortably, confident that you’re well covered by your medical travel insurance if you have a medical emergency.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.
To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.
You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine or any booster jab, then you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
