If you’re diagnosed with COVID-19 by a medical practitioner and require medical treatment overseas, our Explorer Boost will provide overseas medical benefits.
Non-cruise travel:
• Cover may be available under our overseas emergency medical expenses benefit
• While we do not have a dollar limit on our overseas emergency medical expenses benefit, cover is only available for 12 months from the onset of illness, and does not continue if you return home to Australia
• This benefit is designed to meet the requirements of visa conditions to certain destinations
Cruise travel:
• Cover may be available for onboard medical, provided our Cruise Cover Boost has been added to the base policy for an additional cost for all days the traveller is onboard
Cover conditions:
• This applies for international trips only: there is no medical coverage in Australia on our travel insurance policies
• For travel in New Zealand, you will be covered for this event regardless of any smarttraveller.com.au ‘Do not travel’ advice that exists
• For travel in countries outside of Australia and New Zealand, cover applies for this event if the country or part of the country was not subject to ‘Do not travel’ advice on the smartraveller.gov.au website at the time you entered it
• This cover is subject to evidence of your positive COVID-19 diagnosis and certification by a qualified medical practitioner
• Cover will not exceed 12 months from onset of the illness
