easy and a good fit
absolutely, the consultant was patient and took plenty of time to explain everything. Was a comfort to communicate with a English speaking consultant who was easy to understand and very patient

Very Competitive
Very easy to organise online.Competitive price that covers much more than the cheaper insurers. I have my home insurance through Australian Seniors and have always found them to be very helpful .

Review
I thought the initial policy price was attractive but the loading for medical procedures going back 5 years was a bit steep. I also thought the time it took to complete the medical review was ridiculous, as it took 40 minutes and went back 5 years. A little over the top I thought when some of those procedures were of a type that were not ongoing conditions. I thought your representative, Amanda, was excellent with her product knowledge, thoroughness and customer service skills.

Great price for great benefits!
We haven't travelled yet, but it was so easy to choose our insurance and it was great value for money. We made comparisons with other insurers, but this was the best quote we received saving us $50-$100 for comparable insurance elsewhere.

Easy to set up on line at a nice $ rate.
It is a few years since I have needed travel insurance, but I have used Seniors several times in the past.
I reckon the online quote/payment was easier than last time.
Lets trust that our trip takes place in 2021 and a claim will not be required.

Great customer service.
Took out travel insurance earlier this year. Staff were very helpful and the policy good value. Due to inability to travel because of the pandemic I rang to see if I would be covered for any cancellation costs with my holiday. Whilst I wouldn't be covered because it is a pandemic and I'm not aware any insurance company would cover the costs, I was given the option of a credit towards future travel or a full refund. I received the refund within 2 days.

Worthless because of COVID-19
Policy purchased before outbreak but now worthless because of pandemic. Admittedly not something I thought about before (clearly should have, yes my fault) but would warn anyone searching for a policy to make sure that pandemic is covered. Apparently there are some out there if you take a policy before it is declared. Shows that travel insurance without pandemic coverage is useless, so for your own safety and peace of mind shop around!

Read mores a stupid mistake on my part but I will make certain that for myself (and anyone I know or anyone who will listen) looks for things like that in any policy they may take out for future travel.taking out overseas travel insurance
policy was comparatively easy, seeing as I am an 80 year old man with several medical conditions that needed to be declared.It was made easier by the very patient and competent Katya.
This is the first time I have approached your company.

Taking out travel insurance
Feel policy is good value and the only thing I would have liked in the policy was to increase the individual limit on a piece of jewellery.

Being on a State pension it is very expensive but I had to have it.
In hindsight yes but still a lot of money
Nothing to lodge as this is my first holiday with Australian Senior Insurance.
1st time using Australian Seniors as they were slightly cheaper than some others.

Terrific to deal with.
This was the first time I needed travel insurance. After a lot of research, I settled on Australian Seniors because of the responses and help I received from their representative, Tenille. She was courteous, knowledgeable, very helpful and very pleasant to talk to. Their quotes were very competitive but what finally swung it in their favour was the service we received.
I have not gone on my trip yet so obviously have not had to make a claim but, judging by the treatment so far, I would anticipate quick and efficient hekp.

I am considering traveling from Perth to the Gold Coast in September 2021 for a holiday. I intend bringing my golf clubs with me. I am thinking of booking a flight (one of the cheap flights) that does not offer a refund if the flight is cancelled so my question is am I able to take out insurance to cover the cost of my flights. Also can my accommodation costs be refunded and what is the situation regarding Covid? Thanks in anticipation of your response, Pat

I we bought our travel insurance in September 2019 & the trip we are taking is cancelled, are we covered?

Hi Janelle,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. All claims for cancellation or amendment costs will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with the terms, conditions and exclusions of your policy.
If the reason that you want to cancel or amend your trip arises from or relates to COVID-19, then the General Exclusion for an epidemic/pandemic will apply and cover is excluded.
We do recommend that you contact your travel agent and/or travel and accommodation providers in the first instance to reschedule or seek a refund for your trip.
If you would like to discuss this further with one of our team, please respond to the private message I have sent, noting your policy details.
Kind regards,
Jessica
Ok, so that really doesn't answer my question. We do not want to cancel our trip our trip has been cancelled through no fault of our own. My husband has been holding on the phone for 2 hours & was then given a message they will contact us in 48hours. I know you're busy but that's not good enough!!!
