Travel Insurance
The University Corporate Travel Insurance Policy provides insurance cover for staff and students on
authorised overseas travel. Insurance cover for travel within Australia is not provided and is not
required under the University's Travel Policy.
If your travel is not for study or business, you should consider obtaining personal travel insurance - for
more information refer to DFAT or contact your Travel Agent/Adviser.
Many insurers provided this coverage, most of whom you will be able to obtain quotations from on-line.
In the light of rapidly changing global circumstances, Deakin staff and students who are intending to travel
overseas on University related activities should always check the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website www.smartraveller.gov.au
for country-specific travel advice notices.
