How Flip Helps
Travel insurance and Medicare don’t cover everything
Your travel insurance may not provide accidental injury cover for all your planned activities while overseas, and it may not cover some injury treatments or medical expenses (we suggest you check). And once you’re back in Australia, Medicare may not cover hidden costs that leave you out of pocket during recovery.
Why personal accidental injury insurance is becoming more popular for travelling Australians
Aussies love to explore the world.Â
Australians took over 8.3 million overseas trips in the 2023 financial year, with Indonesia, the UK and Fiji among the most popular destinations.
Accidental injuries can be expensive.
All those amazing international adventures can lead to accidents and injuries that travel insurance, private health insurance or Medicare don’t necessarily cover in full. The financial pain can end up hurting more than the injury itself, and put your recovery at risk.
Peace of mind for accidental travel injuries.
If you’ve got Flip Roaming activated for your trip and you’re unlucky enough to get hurt, we’ve got your back. If you get an accidental injury of a specified severity at a covered destination, you’ll get up to $20,000 in reimbursements for overseas medical care and $50,000 in cash payouts for eligible claims.
Uncomplicated travel accidental injury cover
Understanding what you’re covered for can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realise until after something's gone wrong that you might have a lot of costs to pay. We've created simple cover for accidental injuries that happen to Australian residents travelling overseas in covered destinations. It’s easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.
