How to use these travel alerts

  • It’s important to understand that while a destination has a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning in place, our travel insurance won’t cover a loss that arises from that event if you: travel to; plan to travel to; or remain in that country or region.

  • Please research the area(s) you are visiting and read the latest government advice to see if your planned travel is affected. Australian travellers should read Smartraveller.gov.au.

  • Read the PDS for information about what's covered.
