Simply because travel insurance will usually not pay a claim if you are living permanently overseas. To avoid this risk, you should consider International Private Health Cover.

The most common questions we receive from people that are considering retiring abroad centres around health care, such as what is the quality, accessibility and cost of health care?

For minor ailments, nicks and scratches, the public hospital and/or pharmacy systems are fine, cost effective and widely accessible.

For more major illnesses, accidents and injuries you may wish to be treated in a private hospital where the health care is world class, and even be medically evacuated to a private hospital should there be no quality health care services in your current location.

This Health Cover will substantially reduce the potential high costs that can come with these events.
