The Workersafe Outbound policy includes a choice of policy excess options and an excess of $200 for portable electronic devices. Terms, conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Please refer to the Policy Wording for detailed terms of cover.
Pre-existing Medical Conditions
Some Pre-existing Medical Conditions are automatically covered under this policy. Please review the Policy Wording to determine if your Pre-existing Medical Conditions are covered. If your Pre-existing Medical Conditions are not automatically covered, you are able to complete a Medical Assessment online. You may be charged an additional premium for this cover, if approved. If the cover for the Pre-existing Medical Condition(s) is not approved, then no cover is provided for these Pre-existing Medical Conditions. You have the choice to “Opt Out’ of any approved additional cover for your Pre-existing Medical Conditions. However, this means no claim can be made for losses relating to those Pre-existing Medical Conditions.
Specified High Value Items
For any baggage items that are worth more than the policy item limit you can extend the cover and specify the item on your policy. For portable computer equipment the item limit is $2,500 and for all other items the limit is $1,500. An additional premium will be charged to specify an item and you should insure it for the indemnity or current value of the item. These items can be specified when purchasing your policy online.
