Personal Travel insurance

Aussies!, I'm trying to find an insurance company in OZ that will cover me (Aussie resident) for the usual things for a RTW trip. For example, Hospital coverage in another country in case of accident or illness, flight home for treatment if needed, hospital cost coverage and so on. I haven't seen any recent information about aussie insurance companies so far on this site and after Covid I'm sure not all companies I have on the list will still be in operation, so up-to-date info. would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. World Nomads won't cover me unfortunately. Not sure of the reason. Haven't tried medibank.

Sorry I just remembered Medibank is only up to 250cc. Shame WorldNomads won't cover you is the only one I currently know of, is a lot of work checking through all the policies hopefully can find something

I tried World Nomads, initially looked ideal. Then I discover that they do not provide cover if the bike is your main form of transport. So, pretty useless to most people here I would think.

Just had a reply from my email to CSM Ltd:
"The plans inherently cover all travel, including off-road motorcycling, but excludes motocross, motor rally and any form of racing or competition. In addition there are no engine capacity limits on motorcycles used."

So looks like just what I need.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
