Australia Critical Illness Cover

Critical illness cover pays out a cash lump sum of money, if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that is listed in the insurer’s claims set e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke.

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.

Australia Income Protection

Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.

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.
