An ongoing medical or dental condition which you have symptoms of, are being treated for, are taking medicine for, have had surgery for at any time in the past, or prior to purchasing your travel insurance policy.

When you leave your luggage and personal effects somewhere where they could be taken without you realising, or with someone you’ve just met, or out of your reach, or in a luggage room after you’ve checked out, or forgetting an item and leaving it behind by accident. This is a very important term to understand when claiming for lost or stolen belongings.
You should always read the Product Disclosure Statement before you buy any travel insurance policy to understand the special meanings attached to some of the benefits. That way you’ll be armed with the knowledge of when you’re covered so you can avoid any situations when you might not be.
