Medical emergencies can happen while participating in sports and even leisure activities on your overseas trip. Fast Cover’s Aussie based team of experts are available to provide 24/7 support for overseas medical emergencies, depending on your situation and location.*

Our Emergency Assistance team may be able to help arrange experienced medical support services in the event of unexpected circumstances that arise from your participation in a covered adventure activity overseas.*

If you get injured while participating in covered sports or leisure activities during your overseas trip, Fast Cover may be able to help with overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses in some circumstances which are covered under your policy.*

Fast Cover’s international travel insurance policies are available to provide protection against the financial burden of reasonable and unexpected overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses associated with unexpected illness or injuries sustained from participating in covered sports and leisure activities, incurred by you, for which you are not reimbursed, during your trip overseas.* Please note there is no cover for any medical or ancillary expenses incurred in Australia.

If you become seriously injured or sick while participating in a covered sport or leisure activity overseas, access to emergency medical care could make a huge difference. Fast Cover may be able to help with the cost of getting you to the nearest hospital for emergency medical treatment or even flying you back to Australia, in circumstances covered under your policy.*

In case you are seriously injured or sick as a result of participating in a covered sport or leisure activity on your trip overseas, Fast Cover’s international travel insurance policies are available to provide cover for your reasonable additional accommodation and travel expenses, medical transfer, evacuation or repatriation if you must be transported to the nearest hospital for emergency medical treatment or be brought back to Australia with appropriate medical supervision.

Limits and sub-limits apply to how much you can claim for each item. Conditions including situations in which we would provide cover apply.*

Cancelled holidays aren’t just disappointing, they can be expensive too. If you become unexpectedly sick or injured before your holiday and need to cancel your trip, our Trip Cancellation Expenses benefit may help protect the non-refundable trip bookings you’ve already paid for including flights, accommodation and tours in circumstances explained in your policy.*

At Fast Cover, you can buy travel insurance for your holiday up to 12 months prior to your departure date, including before you've booked adventure tours and any accommodation. Please note cancellation cover is only available with our Comprehensive, Standard Saver, Snow Sports Plus, Domestic Plus  and Frequent Traveller Saver policies.*

Natural disasters and severe weather could throw your trip off track, disrupting your planned activities if your scheduled or connecting transport is cancelled, delayed, shortened or diverted due to severe weather or a natural disaster that begun after we issued the Certificate of Insurance.

If your travel plans include a cruise, you can choose to add cruise cover to your travel insurance policy for additional cover in case of unexpected emergencies on board the ship or during on shore excursions where no support or reimbursement is provided by the cruise company.*

If you are travelling on a cruise ship and wish to be covered for it, you must specify cruise cover at the time of purchase based on your destination and length of cruise: 

  • If you are travelling within Australian waters, the New Zealand or the South Pacific region for 1 night or more

  • If you are travelling on a cruise within Asia, Europe or Worldwide regions for 4 nights or more

By adding this option, your existing international travel insurance benefits will extend to when you’re on a cruise. This may provide cover for unexpected emergencies on-board the cruise ship where no support or reimbursement is provided by the cruise company.*

If you are travelling on a domestic cruise, our medical coverage is only available whilst you are on board the cruise ship and not while you are on land.  

For more details, visit our page on travel insurance for cruises and read our PDS for terms and conditions of cover for travelling on cruise ships.

Consider whether your travel insurance can provide cover if you become sick or injured while participating in sports or leisure activities such as snorkelling, golf or go-karting and incur emergency medical and hospital expenses. 

This could include treatment for fractures, dislocations, dehydration, infections or other unexpected injuries sustained during a covered activity overseas. You may also wish to check whether your policy can provide cover for overseas emergency medical evacuation or repatriation if you require urgent medical transport.

If you experience a medical emergency while participating in a covered sport or leisure activity overseas, consider whether your travel insurance policy includes access to 24/7 emergency medical assistance services.

Depending on your situation and location, emergency assistance teams may be able to help arrange medical treatment, hospital admissions, emergency transport or communication support during an overseas medical emergency.

While rare, serious accidents resulting in death can happen during sports activities. Consider whether your travel insurance policy includes benefits for accidental death if you suffer a serious injury resulting in death as a result of participating in a covered sport during your trip.

This is a summary only and does not cover all situations. Any advice is general only and does not consider your personal circumstances. Read the PDS and TMD to determine whether travel insurance is right for you before buying.

The best travel insurance for sports activities isn’t always the cheapest policy available. Consider if it provides a suitable level of cover for your trip, destination and planned activities.

Fast Cover offers a range of travel insurance policies which include cover for sports and leisure activities. Keep in mind that policies vary in coverage and benefit limits available.

When comparing policies, always read the PDS, review what benefits are included, and check the applicable benefit limits, exclusions and conditions. Understanding the scope of cover can help you decide which policy may be right for your travel plans.

Getting sick or injured while participating in sports overseas can be stressful and costly. Medical treatment, hospital stays and emergency transport overseas can quickly result in significant out of pocket expenses in some countries.

Fast Cover’s eligible international travel insurance policies can provide unlimited cover for:

  • overseas 24/7 emergency medical assistance

  • overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses, and

  • overseas emergency medical evacuation and repatriation

in circumstances covered under the policy.*

When comparing travel insurance for sports, you may wish to consider whether the policy include similar medical benefits.

Have you booked flights, tours or accommodation for the sports or leisure activities planned for your trip?

You may wish to consider whether your travel insurance policy includes cancellation and disruption benefits in case your travel plans are unexpectedly impacted by unforeseen circumstances, such as an unexpected illness, injury or other covered events before or during your trip.

Our PDS includes a list of covered sports and leisure activities. All other sports and leisure activities are excluded from cover under your policy unless you take out the relevant optional extra or policy required for your activity. For example, if you get injured in an accident while quad biking in Bali and you didn’t add the Adventure Pack to your eligible policy, or you get injured while skiing in Japan and you didn’t take out the Snow Sports Plus policy, you may be responsible for paying your overseas medical and hospital expenses because you did not choose to include cover for these activities.

It is important to think about what activities you will be participating in so that you have the right cover for the activities you plan to do on your trip.

Cover for sports listed in our PDS is limited to amateur participation. There is no cover for competitions or professional participation in sports activities. Please note you must comply with the participation limitations and conditions of the sports activities you participate in listed in the PDS.

If you become injured while breaking the law, there are various conditions and exclusions that may apply which means you may not be covered. For example, if you ride a bicycle without the required safety gear required by law.

Should the Australian Government release a warning on official government Smartraveller website that certain areas overseas are no longer safe to travel to and you still choose to travel there anyway, there may be exclusions that will apply such as if you do not follow advice in the mass media where a travel advisory risk rating of Do Not Travel was issued after policy purchase. 

Note: We are unable to offer travel insurance to international destinations that have a Do Not Travel warning on official government Smartraveller website. To check which countries we may cover, enter your destination country in the quote box on our website.

Known events are serious situations, from natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, to disease outbreaks, which can affect your holiday plans and also the cover on your overseas travel insurance policy.

If you buy your travel insurance after an event is deemed a known event, the cover on your policy may be affected. You should check for any Travel Alerts that may have been issued for your overseas travel destination as well as information on the official government Smartraveller website so you know where you stand with regards to the cover that you will have on your international travel insurance policy.

Perhaps the weather was bad, you didn’t enjoy your horse riding tour or the landmarks and museums you were sightseeing didn’t live up to the expectation. Whatever the reason you’re unhappy with how your trip has shaped up, your travel insurance policy is not intended to compensate you because you didn’t enjoy your time there.
