Sydney Travel Insurance

While not having an especially high crime rate, Sydney still presents visitors with risks to their cash and valuables, and it’s highly unwise to take a holiday or even take a weekend trip without taking out a travel insurance policy that covers you against the theft of your personal belongings.

Other risks include water sports, where less experienced swimmers or surfers are prone to accidents or attacks by marine animals. Another danger, not to underestimated, is the power of the sun. Melanoma (skin cancer) is prevalent in Australia, and visitors should make sure to cover up and apply sun block before venturing outdoors even for short periods of time. Medical services are excellent, but can be expensive, so travellers should ensure that they have adequate insurance. Australia has a reciprocal health agreement with the United Kingdom, providing for free hospital emergency medical treatment for UK citizens in Australia; proof of UK residence is required.
