What do I do if I test positive to COVID-19 before I'm due to travel?

  • International Comprehensive and Australian Comprehensive plans include a Coronavirus Travel Costs benefit of up to $2,500 which may be applicable if you or your travel companion are not fit to travel due to contracting COVID-19.
  • The Annual Multi Trip plan includes a Coronavirus Travel Costs benefit of up to $7,500 which may be applicable if you or your travel companion are not permitted to travel or not fit to travel due to contracting COVID-19.
  • Firstly, speak with your travel providers, as you may be able to cancel or change your arrangements at no or minimal cost. If you booked through a travel agent, they may be able to assist you with this, too. 
  • Then download and submit a claim form, and we’ll assess it based on your situation. 

Please note, if you’re already travelling and need to make changes to a flight or your accommodation, even at the last minute, don’t delay in speaking with your airline or provider.  If you can’t continue with your planned arrangements due to a positive diagnosis, simply not showing up could mean you forfeit your booking or incur additional fees when you may have been able to move your dates or times at no or minimal cost.
