Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need travel insurance for Australia?

While not legally required, travel insurance is essential for Australia. The country has excellent healthcare but it is entirely fee-based for tourists. A single ER visit can cost $500–2,000; an ICU stay could reach $5,000/day.

Does travel insurance cover the Great Barrier Reef activities?

Scuba diving and snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef are covered by most comprehensive policies, but diving beyond 30 metres typically requires a dive-specific add-on. Always declare adventure activities.

Is travel insurance covered by my Australian working holiday visa?

Working holiday visa holders are not covered by Medicare or private health insurance as tourists. You must arrange your own comprehensive travel/health insurance for the duration of your stay.
