Many ways to claim,
all fast and easy
A part of the peace of mind travel insurance brings is knowing you can easily get advice or help when you need it.
There are different reasons why you might need to get in touch about a travel insurance claim. In this section we will show you how to:
- Claim in a medical or other emergency while overseas by calling us
- Claim back home using our online claim form
- Get in touch to discuss your existing claim
Is it an emergency claim?
If you are overseas and need to make an emergency claim you can reach us by telephone. For example, you need to be admitted to hospital urgently, or need financial assistance to replace a stolen passport. Have your policy number handy and we’ll get you sorted.
Our Emergency Response team is specifically trained to assist Australian travellers and is always available, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Call +61 2 8074 5522 & select option 1
Are you claiming for an existing medical condition?
We cover many pre-existing medical conditions (see the list) but if you want to claim are worried or know that your condition is not automatically covered we can answer your questions.

Is it about a non-emergency claim?
If you are overseas or back home in Australia and wish to make a claim that does not need an immediate, emergency response, the easiest way is to claim online. This would be for luggage, cancellations, and add-on claims, for example.
Being prepared helps us to look after your quickly, so have your policy number handy as well as receipts and any other documents that will support your claim. You’ll find handy pre-claims tips.

Is it about an existing claim?
If you need advice regarding a claim, or need to check your cover we can help you with that. Have your policy number handy and we’ll get you sorted quick smart.
