Bupa FAQs
Here are a few frequently asked questions about Bupa’s travel insurance policies.
The best time to purchase your policy is immediately after you confirm your travel booking. This means you will be insured if you have to cancel your plans.
Determining factors include the duration of your trip, the policy you choose and whether it’s a single or doubles plan, as well any additional cover options.
No, your Medicare card does not cover you for overseas medical expenses. However, countries part of the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA) allow Australians access to that country's healthcare system.
Some pre-existing medical conditions are automatically covered. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay an additional premium to have your condition covered under the policy terms. Travellers aged 70 years and older are not covered for medical or medical-related losses.
You have a 21-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel your policy. You will receive a full refund if you haven’t yet left on your trip or filed a claim.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
