Frequently Asked Questions about Coronavirus Travel Insurance
If you contract Coronavirus before you go on holiday, are you covered for cancelling your holiday?
Yes, on AllClear Gold, Gold Plus and Traveller policies. Cover applies if you are medically diagnosed with Covid-19, and have booked your trip and bought your Travel Insurance policy before contracting the illness. In this instance, you can submit a cancellation claim for consideration with supporting evidence, as long as the cancellation is necessary and unavoidable.
Do you need a pre-departure test before boarding your flight when leaving Australia?
It depends. If you are heading overseas, you do not need a negative test to meet Australian outbound travel requirements. However some countries and airlines do require a negative test, so make sure you check before you leave for the airport.
Do you need to provide a proof of vaccination document to leave Australia?
No. As of 6th July 2022, you do not need to be fully vaccinated or have a relevant medical exemption before you can leave Australia.
How many doses do you need to be ‘fully vaccinated’?
You need to have completed the primary course of TGA recognised vaccines. If you are medically exempt from taking the vaccine, you must provide evidence of this. Children under the age of 12 years and 3 months do not require the vaccination, in line with Australian government advice.
Do you need to wear a mask during a flight?
No. As of the 8th September 2022, masks are no longer required on flights.
Can you travel to other states and territories in Australia?
Yes. There are no longer any restrictions on internal travel within Australia. However, each territory does have its own rules and advice for Covid-19, which you should check before you travel.
Where can you check the latest Covid-19 travel advice?
You can visit either the Home Affairs website or the Australian Government site for the latest Covid-19 updates.
Where can you find destination-specific Coronavirus advice?
As well as visiting the government site for your destination, you can also use Smart Traveller to check your destination.
