Insurance arrangements on a 417 working holiday visa

Hi, first time so please go easy :) I did search the site but couldn't find any articles on this in the last few years, feel free to redirect me if I missed it!

 

We're moving to Sydney on a working holiday visa in a month's time and I've just got engaged (woo!). I'm trying to find a way of insuring the engagement ring (worth c£10k) while we're in Sydney but its proving quite hard. Here are the avenues I've tried so far:

 

  • Home contents insurance in UK. I'm renting out my London flat so need landlord insurance on that property, and these policies won't cover anything of c£10k value.
  • Travel insurance. Won't cover £10k value
  • Specialist jewellery insurance e.g. TH March. Won't cover unless I'm physically living, working and located in UK.
  • Home contents insurance when in Oz. Not sure of this yet but seems that they will not consider me to be a Oz resident (working holiday visa means we're officially still UK residents)

 

 

Can anyone suggest an insurers please? So far I've tried Direct Line, Hiscox, TH March, Highworth and a few others. The only one that seems to have a policy I could use is "insurance4everyone"... very reasonably priced but naturally I'm alarmed by a) the name and b) the lack of any online reviews from customers.

 

Help!
