Hey Guys,

Live in Australia, not PR yet, going to Thailand and Cambodia with my Hungarian partner for 2 weeks in November. Small print of any Aussie insurance companies says we need to be PR to qualify.

I go through IMAN as part of 457 conditions but they dont cover you for OS trips. Can anyone recommend a insurance company where i can take a policy out (just for health, dont care about baggage) with an aussie address as home base but being EU citizens at least till get PR?

Cheers

Book your hols with a credit card, they usually provide some sort of insurance free. We are on 457 and usually get travel insurance with a UK provider without any issues. Try your country of citizenship, they should be able to provide it.

Greetings from Hungary. I am similar situation, Oz citizen but out of Medicare loop, so need private insurance when in Oz.

After much research found Australia Unity, just Google, they do economically priced health insurance for non medicare visitors, PRs and citizens, most cannot offer anything to PR and citizens

Hope this helps
