If you’re a temporary resident of Australia (for example, on a visa), you may be eligible to purchase a Fast Cover travel insurance policy, provided you meet all of the following conditions: 

• You are a non-permanent resident who holds a valid Medicare card, or you have Australian Private Health Insurance that meets the government’s health insurance requirements for your visa and is valid beyond the policy period, and 

• Your visa remains valid beyond your return, and 

• You have a home in Australia that you intend to return to, and 

• Your trip starts and ends in Australia, and 

• You hold a return ticket to Australia, and 

• You meet any other eligibility criteria applied by us during the application process. 

Please note in the event of a medical repatriation from overseas, we will return you to Australia. Medical expenses incurred once you have returned to Australia are not covered on this Policy. It is therefore important that you ensure you have access to long term medical care in Australia. 

Every claim is reviewed individually on a case-by-case basis and will only be paid if it meets the terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions in your policy. Always check the PDS carefully so you know exactly what’s included before you travel.
