NOTE: Travel Insurance may not meet Visa requirements for Medical / Health insurance for all international travel. Travellers must ensure they identify the medical insurance requirements of their Visa and/or Provider/Host in their destination country, particularly for trips of an extended duration.
NOTE: There is no medical cover when you are travelling in your country of residence (and Australia)
If you are a citizen of the country that you are staying in then the national health insurance options for that location is what you are covered under, for example in Australia we have Medicare, as well as local insurances taken out in the form of private medical cover.
