These are unprecedented times and many industries are feeling the impact of COVID-19 - especially the Travel Industry. Following the advice of the Australian Government for Australians not to travel overseas, and the decisions of a number of Australian State and Territory Governments to impose travel and other restrictions, Allianz Global Assistance is temporarily ceasing the sale of new domestic and international Travel Insurance policies effective from Friday 27 March 2020.
There may be other insurance options available to suit your requirements; please refer to the Insurance Council of Australia website for a list of alternative providers.
Our Travel Insurance policies do not cover claims related to COVID-19. In addition, if you travel to a country where the Australian Government has issued an advice or warning of “Reconsider your need to travel” or “Do not travel”, then your claim may not be covered, even if it arises from an event unrelated to COVID-19. Please check travel advisories on Smartraveller for up to date information.
If you are looking for information about the impact of COVID-19 on travel insurance, read our FAQs. Refer to your Product Disclosure Statement for cover details.
All claims will still be assessed. Our Travel team is currently experiencing high call volumes and waiting times. If you need to make a travel claim, we encourage you to do so online.
This is simply a summary of the benefits of an Essentials travel insurance policy. For full details, such as conditions, limits and exclusions please read the Product Disclosure Statement.
