Epidemics and pandemics

Always consult the Smartraveller website prior to any travel.

Travel has changed dramatically since COVID-19 became a worldwide pandemic. This product has a general exclusion, with limited exceptions, against epidemics and pandemics. That means the insurer does not cover claims that arise from, or are related to, an epidemic or pandemic.

However, Teachers Health Travel Insurance offers cover under selected benefits if, during your period of cover, you are positively diagnosed as suffering a sickness recognised as an epidemic or pandemic, such as COVID-19.

Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement to see which benefits offer cover in the event that you are positively diagnosed as suffering a sickness recognised as an epidemic or pandemic, and the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions that apply.

If a COVID-19 border closure or mandatory quarantine period prevents you from travelling or requires you to shorten your journey while travelling, you may be entitled to cancel your policy and receive a partial or full premium refund; refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for terms and conditions.

Make sure you stay up to date and comply with travel information for COVID-19 from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Smartraveller website, World Health Organisation (WHO), and Department of Home Affairs.

In addition to visas, COVID-19 testing, and proof of vaccination requirements, many countries now have compulsory insurance and medical cover proof conditions. Prior to travelling, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of your destination.
