International travel is any travel that takes you out of Australia. This could be for work, a personal holiday, or to visit relatives who live overseas.
It might be an island escape to Fiji, a snowboarding trip to Japan, a backpacking trip through Europe, or a cruise in the South Pacific. Whether you’re taking a short trip or are travelling for an extended period, protecting your trip with international travel insurance for Australians is important.
It’s important to consider protecting your trip abroad with the right level of travel insurance for you.
From minor mishaps to major emergencies, international travel insurance may help offer financial protection when things go wrong – and could even help get you back home if need be.
Worldwide travel insurance can provide cover for incidents such as:
…and more.
With international travel insurance you can worry less and travel more, knowing you’ve got protection if something goes wrong.
At Cover-More, we offer three different international travel insurance plans. You can choose the plan that suits the level of cover you require – and your budget.
If you’re a frequent traveller, our International Comprehensive+ and International Comprehensive Plans can be purchased as an Annual Multi-Trip policy. This provides cover for unlimited trips (up to the maximum duration per trip you choose) to your selected destinations over a 12-month period.
If you travel overseas as a Cover-More international travel insurance policyholder, you can have extra peace of mind knowing we’ll be here to help if something goes wrong.
Check out some of the benefits below. Each plan has different benefits so consider carefully what your needs may be.
Each of our three international travel insurance plans for Australian travellers have some benefits that differ and the benefit coverage amounts can vary. You can compare our plans below to find the best international travel insurance plan for you:

Our customer Katie-Anne was involved in a car accident while on a trip in the United States of America. Our Cover-More team was there to help in her time of need – liaising with medical staff, paying for hospital bills, and making sure that Katie-Anne and her partner Jacob had the emotional support they needed. We also paid Katie-Anne's overseas medical expenses claim, which ended up totalling over $900,000.
Watch as she shares her heartfelt story:
