So far I have found these two that will offer cover: http://www.duinsure.com.au/sites/duinsureaus.nsf/PagesBySection/Policies_Other http://www.insure4less.com.au/

Yes, called a number of companies already. Unfortunately only one so far offers what I need (just a bit pricey!). Turns out what I am looking for is called "non-resident one way outbound travel insurance". Not a lot of choice it seems. Most require journey to either start and finish in Australia or that I am an Australian resident, which I won't be soon as my 457 is cancelled leaving the country. I'll keep looking and calling.

EDIT: I went with Downunder Insurance (http://www.duinsure.com.au) in the end, they offer a non-resident outbound travel insurance policy which was exactly what I needed. Not the cheapest but then it is pretty much comprehensive and not a budget policy. Hi All, Myself and my wife are moving back to the UK after 3 fantastic years in Sydney. I have a travel insurance related question I am hoping someone may be able to help out with, we are doing some travel on the way back via Canada instead of heading directly home. I have been looking to get some travel insurance but the UK based ones require the policy holder to have lived in the UK for the previous 6 months (the ones I have seen so far anyway). The alternative is to use an Australian based insurer but I'm wondering if there would be a problem in the event of a claim, seeing as our 457 visa would have been cancelled after departing Australia. Others must have faced this I would have thought, any advice or suggested insurers either in the UK or Australia we could try? Thanks! Chris
