Real Travel Insurance policies are not permitted by law to cover medical costs incurred within Australia. If you become sick or injured while travelling in Australia, you’ll be entitled to cover for treatment under Medicare and/or your private health insurer.

If you need medical treatment as an outpatient while overseas and the costs are less than $1,000, keep all your medical receipts and reports from the treating doctors. You’ll need these to support your claim when you return home.
