Once issued, Hejaz Hayat Protection is provided for worldwide travel and residence 24-hours a day, subject to any special terms and conditions Hejaz may apply at the time of acceptance.
So whether you are heading on the trip of a lifetime or moving overseas, provided your cover remains in-force you can travel with peace of mind.
Before you jet off into the sunset, you should always check with your insurer as additional conditions may apply to your Family Protection.
Countries excluded from cover
Some countries are excluded from cover mainly due to political unrest, war or natural disaster. As these are subject to change we recommend that you always check with your insurer before travelling overseas to make sure you are covered.
If you choose to remain in a country or part of a country where an Australian government ‘reconsider your need to travel’ or ‘do not travel’ travel warning has been issued, or an evacuation has been coordinated, you may not be covered. Again, it is recommended you check with your insurer if this occurs whilst travelling.
Other exclusions unique to you
In rare cases, travel exclusions may apply based on your individual circumstances. If this is the case, they will be determined during the initial application process and agreed with you.
Remember, always check current travel advice
The Australian Government recommends all travelers check current travel advice, which it maintains for more than 170 destinations on the Smartraveller website.
The advisories highlight potential threats to security, safety and health that you could face at your destination, and counsel on local laws that may differ from those at home. To ensure you are protected, we recommend that you still check with your insurer before travelling overseas to make sure you are covered, even to low risk destinations.
Make sure your Hayat Protection is up to date
Travel to even the safest destination can be risky, so it is a good idea to have your affairs in order before you go. Hayat Protection can help to provide financial security for your loved ones in the event of your death.
Loss of Income cover can help you to cover the costs of living if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. For Australian workers heading overseas to work, provided your cover remains in-force, you will be eligible for Loss of Income benefits.
