What we do: provide quality travel insurance and traveller assistance
We are a global travel insurance provider and we’ve been protecting travellers since 1986.
More than 15 million travellers worldwide trust us to protect their trips each year, including millions of Australian leisure and business travellers at home and overseas.
We help safeguard travellers from the unexpected, and support them when medical, travel or security emergencies arise.
We are here for our customers before, during and after they travel away from home, helping them feel safe, protected, and cared for every step of their journey.
Where we’ve come from: our Australian heritage
We were established in 1986 in Sydney, Australia. Since then, we have grown to become Australia’s leading provider of travel insurance.
While we have strong relationships around the world to provide global support for our customers when they need it most, our emergency assistance operations for Australian customers are based in Australia – and it’s one of the things we’re most proud of.
We don’t outsource our emergency assistance, so when you call us during your time of need, you’ll be talking with people who know what it’s like to be an Australian traveller.
In 2017, we joined Zurich Insurance Group — one of the world’s leading multi-line insurers.
With our global travel insurance expertise and Zurich Insurance Group’s worldwide insurance knowledge, we’re able to provide our customers with quality travel insurance plans, emergency assistance, and customer service.
We also partner with many well-known brands in Australia, including travel agencies, airlines, banks and other financial institutions, and major sporting clubs.
How we can help you: round-the-clock assistance
When you travel, you want to enjoy yourself – but you also want to feel safe, protected, and reassured that help is there if you need it.
We proudly provide our Australian customers with access to round-the-clock help and assistance through our world-class emergency medical assistance and health support alarm centres in Australia, Argentina, the UK, and Canada.
Our team understands our customers’ needs, so when you need emergency assistance, you’ll be talking with a team who is equipped to help you in the best way possible.
Plus, with hundreds of travel insurance and emergency specialists within our team, we’re able to meet your needs quickly, thoroughly, and effectively – anywhere, anytime.
