You’re just about to go on your Working Holiday – it won’t happen to you – will it? Unfortunately it can. Things can go wrong! Any accident or illness whilst in Australia can leave you with a serious financial burden.
The UK does have a reciprocal healthcare arrangement with Australia which would cover only part of your costs. For example you needed to go to casualty, your treatment would be covered, but your ambulance ride would not.
Before you buy you policy make sure you check the small print carefully - you need to know exactly what you are and aren’t covered for. Your working holiday insurance should cover you for:
Medical cover – For injury or sudden illness
Personal liability – In case you’re sued for causing injury or damaging property
24 hour emergency assistance
Cancellation and curtailment – In case your trip gets cut short
Stolen or lost possessions.
It is also worth considering any risky activities that you may be planning to do. Make sure your working holiday insurance will cover you.
