Am I covered for a mount agung volcano eruption in Bali?

Your potential coverage for claims relating to Mount Agung will depend on the date and time at which you purchased your policy, and whether you purchased natural disaster cover as an add-on to your policy.

Medical evacuation is covered as long as medically necessary and emergency. The decision is taken by the claims/assistance team, based on the medical situation and other facts/circumstances.

How does cancellation cover work?

Cancellation cover starts on the date of purchase on Silver and Gold policies.

Cancellation is covered if the insured cannot travel due to medical reasons, the death of a relative, an unknown natural disaster (if you have included this option in your policy), serious damage to the home in Australia and so on. In any such event, the insured can cancel and claim for the non-recoverable pre-booked expenses lost on the trip.

Do you cover the cost of vaccinations?

Depending on your specific needs, we can provide pre-trip advice such as what vaccinations are required and the local medical conditions at your destination (Page 7 of our PDS).

As for preventive vaccination, we primarily advise to visit your GP and ask for options. Also, look out for the health section in Smarttravelers.gov.au to check out advice and medical precautions needs to be looked at depending on the country you chose to travel in.
