How do you cover curtailment?

As per our Policy Wording Documents, curtailment is cutting your trip short after departure, due to the unexpected death of, or sudden serious injury or illness of, your, or your travelling companion’s relative who is resident in Australia or New Zealand and who is in Australia or New Zealand at the time the event occurs, or of your business associate who is resident in Australia and who is in Australia at the time the event occurs.

In this event, we would cover your travel and accommodation expenses that you are unable to recover from another source. Please note that this benefit is only on the Silver and Gold levels of cover. Certain limits also apply. Check the Policy Wording Documents for more information.  

Am I covered if I need to change my flight?

Depending on the reasons, your level of cover and the options selected, we cover cancellation/rescheduling of flights for unforeseen/unexpected medical reasons, death of a relative, natural disaster, serious damage to your home in Australia, passport if lost/stolen and so on. Please read the PDS for more info (For cancellation, Section A - Page 19 & if the said expense is incurred after going on the trip, it will fall under Additional Emergency Expenses - Section C2, Page 24)

Alcohol and how do you cover related situations?
