Canberra Travel Insurance

Canberra is one of Australia’s safest cities, although you should still take out travel insurance in case of accident, theft or loss of luggage. While there are no dangerous diseases to be aware of while staying in Canberra, sickness from flu or sunburn is possible, and clinics will require payment for medical treatment. Cases of violent crime and theft are minimal, but you should remain vigilant when in busy areas of the city, especially at night, and keep valuables locked away in a hotel safe.

You should particularly make sure you are well-insured if you plan on driving or partaking in adventure activities such as water sports, rock climbing or mountain biking. We recommend taking out travel insurance for you and your family when travelling to Canberra.
