Introduction of Defence Health Travel Insurance
Defence Health Travel Insurance is a type of insurance policy designed specifically for members of the Australian Defence Force and their families who are travelling overseas. It provides coverage for a range of unexpected events that can occur while travelling, such as illness or injury, emergency medical evacuation, trip cancellation or interruption, lost or stolen luggage, and personal liability.
The policy is offered by Defence Health, a not-for-profit health fund that provides health insurance to members of the Australian Defence Force and their families. This is designed to provide comprehensive coverage for both short and long-term overseas travel, with policies available for single trips or multiple trips throughout the year.
In addition to standard travel insurance coverage, it also offers additional benefits for members of the Australian Defence Force, such as coverage for deployment and pre-deployment training, and coverage for sporting and adventure activities that may not be covered by other travel insurance policies.
Overall, it provides peace of mind for members of the Australian Defence Force and their families when travelling overseas, ensuring they are protected in the event of unexpected events that can occur while travelling.
