If you're planning on riding a motorcycle or moped overseas on your trip and want cover for participating in those activities, you'll need to purchase the optional Motorcycle/Moped Pack, available on International Comprehensive and Standard Plans only.
Adding the Motorcycle/Moped Pack doesn't add another policy benefit, but it extends cover under your policy to include claims that arise because of participating in riding a motorcycle or moped overseas on your trip, except for cover under Permanent disability and Personal liability.
Cover is provided under this Optional Extra pack only if:
- the motorcycle or moped is motorised and its engine capacity is 250cc or less;
- while in control of the motorcycle or moped, you hold an Australian motorcycle rider’s licence or an Australian motor vehicle driver’s licence valid for that class of motorcycle or moped being ridden, and a licence valid for the country that the motorcycle or moped is being ridden in;

Terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub-limits apply. Please refer to the relevant PDS for more details.
If you're planning on participating in snow sport activities in Australia or overseas, you'll need to purchase the optional Snow Pack, available on International Standard, International Comprehensive and Domestic Comprehensive Plans only.

Buying the Snow Pack extends your cover under your policy to include claims that arise because of your participation in a snow sport activity including skiing or snowboarding, except for cover under Permanent disability and Personal liability. The Snow Pack also provides cover for additional snow-related benefits such as Cover for your own snow sport equipment, Snow sport equipment replacement hire and Piste closure.

If you're going on an overnight or multi-night sea or ocean cruise while you're on your trip and you haven't bought the Cruise Pack, there'll be no cover under the policy for claims related to that cruise.
Terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub-limits apply. Please refer to the relevant PDS for more details.
Cancelling during your 14-day-cooling-off period
You have a 14-day cooling-off period once you buy your policy. If you decide that this policy is not right for you, you may cancel it within 14 days of purchasing your policy.
We will give you a full refund, provided:
- you have not started your trip; and
- you do not want to make a claim under your policy; and
- you do not want to exercise any other right under your policy.
In that case, your policy will be cancelled from the date the policy was issued, which means it will be as if you had no cover at all.
Cancellation after the cooling-off period
If you wish to cancel your policy more than 14 days after you purchased your policy and:
- you have not started your trip; and
- you do not want to make a claim under your policy; and
- you do not want to exercise any other right under your policy,
we will refund you 60% of the premium you paid. In this case, your policy will be cancelled from the date the cancellation is processed.
You can cancel your policy by logging in to your Huddle account or by booking an appointment to speak to one of our friendly team members.
Please see the relevant PDS for more details.
If you or your travel companion are positively diagnosed as suffering a sickness recognised as an epidemic or pandemic (like COVID-19), and the diagnosis is certified by a medical adviser in writing, you may be able to claim for some benefits which are specified in the PDS. This includes the cancellation or rescheduling of your trip, or your medical expenses incurred overseas during your trip, due to this diagnosis.
Except for this limited cover, cover for epidemics and pandemics are generally excluded under the policy.
This means you will not be covered if you contracted the epidemic or pandemic sickness when you had travelled against an advice or warning by the Australian Government and didn't take appropriate action to avoid contracting the sickness, for example, by delaying travel to the country or part of the country referred to in the travel warning.
Terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub-limits apply. Please refer to the relevant PDS for more details.
