Hi all

Well the flight is booked for September - so new life, new beginnings in Perth here we come !

Christ I'm starting to s**t myself now as reality really set in when I booked the flights !

My questions are- Can anyone recommend an insurance company for a family of 4 on a one way trip.

Also have most people who have shipped their goods used the shippers insurance or anyone recommend anyone else. My apologies I did see this on a thread recently but cant remember which one !

Thanks in advance

A stressed & nervous Bluetoffee

Hi

http://www.go-walkabout.co.uk/ do one way travel insurance that covers you for 17 days after arrival (I believe the post office also does one way)

http://www.lettonpercival.co.uk/ is the shipping insurance company that is cheaper than most shipping companies.

These seem to be for 17 days insurance. Which is a bit excessive for people emmigrating.

As PR..I don't understand what the insurance covers?

Ok..the baggage bit i understand...but medical?????????Aren't all PRs covered by Medicare...or is that not until one has phsically regsitered for medicare?

I thought that was why they offer you the 17 days - until you register with medicare....

Don't know what your coverage is if you aren't registered with medicare and don't have the one way insurance.

Why would you not want 17 days cover?
Most other policies will end when when you reach immigration. So what if you lost all your luggage on the way from the airport to you accommodation and need medical assistance? You'd be happy for the 17 days cover then!

Straight from the Go Walkabout website referring to the specialist emigration travel insurance

Go Walkabout Travel Insurance - Emigration

Are you and your family seeking a fresh start in life in Australia, New Zealand or Canada? Go Walkabout offers you comprehensive travel insurance to cover your travelling and up to seventeen days after taking up residence in the new country. We recognise, by offering this unique cover, how valuable it is to have a sense of security whilst settling in to your new life.

It gives you approx two weeks (3 days to travel) to get yourself sorted, registered with Medicare, get the documentation etc etc.

Not bad if you ask me

I'd prefer 2 days. I can walk into a medicare clinic and register after arrival and thus be covered. Maybe I'm just tight...but £71 seems a bit steep.
