Welcome to Europ Assistance Australia’s Policy Hub. Here you can find our latest policies about our travel insurance products and additional services and support for our travellers.
Cancelling within the Cooling Off Period
All our polices have a Cooling Off Period within which you can cancel your policy and get a full refund.
