Waiver support

The jurisdiction (or a region within a country) or host institution may require you to obtain another liability or health insurance policy or the duration of your approved University travel period. In some instances, it may be possible to submit an insurance waiver with an embassy to receive a travel visa or host institution to receive an acceptance document. Students who are successful in requesting a waiver will not have to pay another premium for a separate insurance policy.

Review the Product Disclosure Statement/Policy Wording to ascertain whether this is the appropriate level of cover for your personal circumstances. Students may request a travel confirmation letter from the ³ÉÈË´óƬ to support a waiver application.
