Insurance Through Superannuation

Many people ask about insurance and refer to the sometimes exorbitant cost of general medical insurance cover as well as the inability to get it for certain countries.

An alternative might be to investigate the avenues for insurance through your existing Australian Superannuation Fund. It should be noted that not all insurance companies cover long term expatriates, and that the terms on the policy may mean that your current insurance is voided because you have been overseas for tool long. This is where professional advice is required to ascertain that the insurance that you obtain through super is able to cover you in teh unlikely event of a claim arising whilst you are overseas.
