Travel insurance can cover you for COVID-19 in New Zealand. A policy can cover you for the following:
"When I travel, I don't want to fork out a lot for travel insurance. I always get something above the bare minimum though which usually only covers medical-only expenses. Flight disruptions and delayed luggage are really common, so look for a cheap policy that covers me for these things."
For emergencies: call 111 (police), 111 (ambulance) or 111 (fire).
In a medical emergency, call for help and then contact your insurer on their emergency assistance line.

Can I get travel insurance but only one way from New Zealand to Perth WA
Hi Lorraine, Check out our guide to one-way travel insurance for insurers who offer this option.
My family of 5 is traveling to New Zealand for just over four weeks from early December to early January. I am wondering if we need to get travel insurance or not? I know basic medical is covered as we are covered by Medicare and New Zealand recognises that as cover for them.
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your comment.
Australians can access New Zealand’s public health care system in an emergency, but travel insurance is still essential. New Zealand and Australia have a reciprocal health care agreement, meaning that Australian travellers can access New Zealand’s public health service in an emergency, and vice versa. You’ll still have to pay some fees for treatment and medication (you’ll be charged the same amount as a New Zealand resident) and it’s important to remember the agreement isn’t a replacement for travel insurance – which is always a necessity. Remember to take your Medicare card with you – you’ll need it, along with your passport, to prove that you’re eligible.
Please fill out the Travel insurance form to get quotes for your trip to New Zealand. Please ensure you review the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
