Seniors Travel Insurance Questions & Answers

Hi Shas,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. In accordance with the Australian Government’s travel restrictions and due to the complex and unpredictable nature of travel currently, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend sales of travel insurance. Like many, we are hopeful that the global response to COVID-19 will see us all travelling again soon. In the meantime, there may be other suitable options if you intend on travelling. You can refer to The Insurance Council of Australia website for a list of providers; https://www.findaninsurer.com.au/category/36

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

Thank you for your question. All insurance companies may vary these requirements, however if you choose to insure with Australian Seniors you can take your policy 12 months in advance of when you travel. Your policy will start at the date of departure, except for cancellation or amendment expenses, which starts as soon as you purchase your policy. If you would like a quote, can you please send your contact details in a private message and I will arrange for a team member to give you a call. Our policy information can be found at https://www.seniors.com.au/travel-insurance if you would like more information.
