pregnancy TRAVEL INSURANCE FAQS

Any kind of travel can be risky, no matter where you or how long you’ll be away. There’s always the chance that your trip could  belly-up.  With your new addition on the way, you can't afford to away without travel insurance.

  • Q. Do I have to disclose my pregnancy
  • We don’t treat a straightforward pregnancy as a pre-existing condition.  You are automatically covered up to the 24th week of your pregnancy, no fuss for single pregnancies, or the 19th week for multiple pregnancies. You can simply purchase a standard policy and be covered.

    You must declare any pregnancy complications you have experienced whether you conceived naturally, or through assisted reproductive services.  You can apply to cover your pregnancy-induced conditions, by completing our online medical assessment during the quote and purchase process.

  • Q. Up to what stage of my pregnancy can I get cover?
  • At TINZ, pregnancy up to and inclusive of 24 weeks is covered provided it is a single foetus, uncomplicated pregnancy. Multiple pregnancies up to and inclusive of the 19th week of gestation are covered.

  • Q. Am I covered for check-ups and antenatal care while travelling?
  • No, any routine check-ups or antenatal care appointments would not be covered while you are travelling. However, in the event that you require emergency medical attention (whether in relation to your pregnancy or not) you will be covered.

  • Q. Is childbirth covered?
  • No. Childbirth at any gestation is not covered, nor is care of your newborn child.

  • Q. What if my pregnancy was IVF assisted?
  • If you conceived through assisted reproductive services, you are automatically covered up to and inclusive of the 24th week of your pregnancy for single pregnancies, or the 19th week for multiple pregnancies. 

    If you have experienced any pregnancy-related complications, you mut declare it via the online medical assessment form in the quote process.

  • Q. Am I covered for trip cancellation?
  • We know that sometimes events out of your control can impact on your travel plans. TINZ includes $50,000 for non-refundable, pre-paid trip cancellation costs should you need to cancel your holiday booking.

  • Q. Are my children really covered for free?
  • Yes they sure are! At TINZ your children are insured for no additional cost as long as they are under 21 and not in full time employment.

  • Q. What do you mean by 'Family’?
  • Family cover provides cover for any two adults named on the Certificate of Insurance travelling together, including spouse, de facto or adult Travelling Companion plus their financially dependent children (under 21) years travelling with them.

  • q. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL?
  • Many medical and travel experts agree that the best time to travel is during the second trimester.  During this period the nausea of the first 12 weeks has usually subsided and you're likely to experience an increase in energy levels.

    That's not to say that you cannot travel in your first and third trimester.  You should just bear in mind that they may come with additional side effects or risks.  All travellers, needs, circumstances and holidays are different.  If you're concerned about travelling while pregnant, you should speak with your treating medical adviser.
