Frequently asked questions
What type of cover does Travel Protect offer?+
Travel Protect focuses on travel only, with Unlimited emergency medical for emergency care abroad. That structure suits travellers who want trip cover kept separate from household policies. Always review exclusions and benefit caps in the plan wording before purchase.
Who can buy a Travel Protect policy?+
Cover is available to adults within 18-99 years, which accommodates many senior travellers as well as younger adults. Eligibility still depends on health declarations and trip details. Check the plan rules to confirm that destination and duration meet acceptance criteria.
How are claims handled?+
Claims can be submitted through email, online and phone, so progress can be tracked by phone, email or web submission. Keep medical reports, receipts and booking proof together from the start of the trip. Prompt notification helps assessment and reduces follow up requests.
Is Travel Protect regulated?+
Travel Protect is arranged through Wise & Silent and authorised by Australian Securities and Investments Commission under 536280. That framework provides local oversight for sales and conduct. Shoppers can confirm authorisation details through official registers before buying.
How can customers get help?+
Support is provided through email, help centre and phone, covering phone and email plus help centre material for common queries. Response times vary by channel and season. For urgent issues abroad, use the emergency contact shown in policy documents rather than general enquiries.
Is Travel Protect an insurer or a broker?+
Travel Protect acts as broker based in Australia, rather than as the carrier of risk itself. Policies are placed with underwriters while the broker handles distribution and service. Review the product disclosure to see underwriter identity and complaints handling.
