Why should I use this arrangement?

The Department of Education and Training recently conducted a rigorous tender process to select a preferred supplier which meets the department’s strict criteria to ensure customers are receiving a value for money product/service for the level of insurance cover required.  The terms and conditions of the arrangement are written to protect the department and its business units.

Use of the SOA for all school study tours and DET-funded business travel has been mandated due to the need to ensure that the appropriate levels of insurance are obtained. Purchase of travel insurance through the SOA will ensure that all travellers receive the same level of cover and emergency assistance, which includes the evacuation of insured persons to the nearest safe and acceptable location in an emergency situation.

Travellers planning to stay in the United States (not Canada) for 365 days or more: Following recent healthcare reforms in the United States we are unable to insure travellers who are planning to be in the United States (not Canada) for 365 days or more.

Will you be travelling to countries outside of the USA & Canada?

If you plan to visit the USA or Canada more than once during your trip, please calculate the total number of days you will be there. Then enter the date leaving USA or Canada as the total number of days from the date arriving.

For example: You will be in the US from 1st March to 31st March (31 days) and 10th October to 26th October (17 days) = 48 days in total. So you would have a start date of 1st March and an end date of 17th April. Ie 48 days. You will receive your certificate in an email, so simply reply to the email advising the correct dates of travel within USA or Canada and we will endorse the policy accordingly.

Following healthcare reforms in the US we cannot insure travellers who are planning to stay in the USA (not Canada) for 365 days or more.
