If you are a UK resident and plan on visiting Australia within the next year, you should be eligible for normal terms on your Life Insurance. Whether you are going for work, a sabbatical or for a holiday, the insurer will probably offer you standard terms
British citizens who have moved abroad can often still access life insurance and critical illness cover in the UK. There are specific rules that you must follow to be eligible for new life insurance and critical illness policies, and we are here to strip out the jargon and get you the cover that you need.
Critical Illness Cover should not be a problem for those wanting to go to Australia. As with Life Insurance mentioned above, you must be a UK resident to apply and normal terms may be applied if you are considering a trip “down-under” for work or leisure.
As with the insurances discussed above, Income Protection could be available to you if you are a UK resident and plan on visiting Australia within the next year. The insurer will more than likely offer normal terms for those planning on working or holidaying in Australia within the course of the year.
Are you planning on going down under? We work with a specialist travel insurance broker who can provide comprehensive cover for most countries. Get your no obligation travel insurance quote here.
