“Select-A-Benefit” provides travel insurance for you to travel internationally as well as within Australia. Our benefits for cancellation costs, overseas medical, hospital and repatriation expenses, additional expenses and luggage and personal effects offers you the choice to select the amount you wish to be covered for. For travel within Australia there is no cover provided for overseas medical, hospital and repatriation expenses. If you purchase a policy, your cover begins from when you leave your home to go directly to the place you depart from your travels, and ends when you return to your home.

Note: the cancellation benefit is a pre-travel benefit that covers you from the moment you buy your policy.

This is a summary of the benefits and limits that apply. Please read the Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement (Including Policy Wording) carefully for the complete details of "We will pay" and "We will not pay" for each of the benefits you selected. Importantly, please note that exclusions do apply as well as limits to the cover and these are set out in the Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement (Including Policy Wording).
