Travel Insurance

Make sure you organise travel insurance for the journey to Australia. It may also be useful to consider organising travel insurance for your first week in Australia. Your Overseas Student Health Cover will begin once you arrive in Australia.

Travel insurance will cover you for any difficulties you might encounter from the time you depart your home country to your arrival in Australia, such as lost luggage. Unlike your compulsory Overseas Student Health Cover, your travel insurance may (depending on the insurer and type of cover) provide you with cover for pre-existing medical conditions, but it is important to check this with your insurer.
