Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement to see which benefits offer cover in the event that you contract a sickness recognised as an epidemic or pandemic, and the terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and applicable sub-limits that apply**.
In addition, if a COVID-19 border closure or mandatory quarantine period prevents you from travelling or requires you to shorten your journey while travelling, you may be entitled to cancel your policy and receive a partial or full premium refund; refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and applicable sub-limits.
