No, our policies cover reasonable overseas medical costs only, which can be very high if you do not have travel insurance. There is no medical, hospital or dental cover on a Domestic policy. As a general insurer the insurer is unable to pay medical costs in Australia and this includes any gap payments on any Medicare or private health insurer items.

If you have an overseas medical emergency, our Emergency Medical Assistance team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to take your call.
