Epidemics and pandemics

Always consult the Smartraveller website prior to any travel. 

There is no cover under any benefit of this policy if your claim arises because you didn’t follow an advice or warning that a reasonable person would have been aware of, that has been issued by the Australian government (when a ‘reconsider your need to travel’ or ‘do not travel’ alert is in place), which can be found on Smartraveller; or which was published in a reliable mass media source. This applies even if an Australian government has given you permission to travel, or you fall under a specific exemption where there is otherwise a travel ban in place.

In addition to visas, countries may require proof of COVID 19 test results; vaccination requirements; and compulsory travel insurance, with proof of adequate medical benefit cover. Check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you are entering. If you require additional documentation regarding your international travel insurance policy due to international entry requirements, please contact us on 1800 011 060.

Before buying our travel insurance, and while you’re travelling, check Smartraveller and Allianz Partners for travel alerts or advisories for your intended destination(s).

If during the period of your cover, you are positively diagnosed as suffering a sickness recognised as an epidemic or pandemic (such as COVID 19), cover may be available under some sections of your policy. Consult your Product Disclosure Statement for details. Make sure you stay up to date and comply with travel information for COVID 19 from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Smartraveller website, World Health Organisation (WHO), and Department of Home Affairs.
