Fi Dunphy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi Poms in Oz! I'm excited to be moving to Melbourne next week on a 12-month working holiday visa... However, I'm a bit confused as to what kind of insurance I'd need when I go out there. I've been told I'd need an annual policy, however have found that a lot of these limit trips to 31 consecutive days three times a year. I've spoken to one person who said that she was landed in serious debt when she was living out there and broke her arm, because she didn't buy insurance before she went out. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi Fi and welcome to the forum. I have moved your post in to the WHV section of the site, here you can find job vacancies etc and info about hostels, etc. in regards to insurance there are a few companies who can help! one that springs to mind is http://www.go-walkabout.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Look at specialist WHV insurance. Plenty out there. I've always used STA and rate them but some find them on the more expensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britpop Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You want backpacker insurance not annual. Google backpacker and you'll get loads of results id suggest getting one that covers some work and recreational sports (I.e swimming in a pool, beach kick about) as some don't insure you unless you're practically standing still in a Locked room when you look at the ts &cs also check the excesses, not point paying £100 to claim for a used £120 camera and so on.
