Holiday insurance for 457 visa holders, help
Hey, im off on Holiday soon and cant get any holiday insurance because Im on a visa.
Has anyone worked out how to get insured ?? I was wondering about getting an isurer to insure me from the UK and put down my parents address, would this work and would it cover me if i broke my leg or something. I understand that i would need to be repatriated to the UK.
any help would be great I leave next week.

Hi
Try http://www.columbusdirect.com.au/
I use them now and also when I was on a student visa - they only require you to be 'resident' in Australia and to have been here for 3 months.
I rang them and asked if temp residency was ok and they were fine. I have used them for over 5 years but haven't had to claim yet so can't comment on that.
