How do I resolve a travel insurance complaint?

We recognise that sometimes things go wrong, and when they do, we want you to tell us so we can try and make them right as soon as possible.

Your right to make a Complaint

We define a complaint to be an expression of dissatisfaction made to or about Qantas Travel Insurance, related to our products, services, employees or the handling of a complaint, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected or legally required.

There are established procedures for dealing with complaints and disputes. These services are free to all policyholders and may be of assistance, should the need arise.

If you wish to make a complaint, please contact nib Travel Services (Australia) Pty Ltd (nib), who manage Qantas Travel Insurance policies, using the details below. They will attempt to resolve your complaint in accordance with their Internal Dispute Resolution procedure.

Travel Complaints Department - nib Travel Services (Australia) Pty Ltd

Mail: PO BOX A975, Sydney South NSW 1235

Email: travelcomplaints@nibtravel.com

Phone: 1300 025 121

nib will acknowledge your complaint within 1 business day and provide you with the contact details of the person handling your complaint. 

They will do their best to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction within 10 business days. If they are unable to do so, they will follow the Complaints Handling Process detailed below.

 Complaints Handling Process

If nib Travel is unable to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction within 10 business days, they will keep you informed about the progress of your complaint at least every 10 business days and their final decision will be provided to you in writing within 30 calendar days of the date on which you first made the complaint.

If nib requires further information, they will only ask for information that is relevant to their decision about your complaint. You may request the information that nib relied on when making their decision, and unless they are unable to, they must give you that information within 10 business days of you asking.
