Failure to declare pre-existing medical conditions that are relevant to this insurance may invalidate your claim.

known to you prior to booking any trip affecting any close relative, close<br />

business associate, travelling companion who is not insured under this policy, or<br />

any person with whom you have arranged to reside temporarily while on your trip if:<br />

1 a terminal diagnosis had been received prior to booking any trip, or<br />

Reciprocal Health Agreements<br />

If you are travelling to a European Union (EU) country, the European Economic Area<br />

(EEA) or Switzerland, you can apply for a European Health <strong>Insurance</strong> Card (EHIC) via<br />

your local Post Office ® . This card entitles you to certain free or reduced cost health<br />

cover arrangements in the EU, EEA or Switzerland.<br />

When you are travelling to Australia and you register for treatment under the national<br />

Medicare scheme, Medicare provides:<br />

• free treatment as an in-patient or out-patient at a public hospital,<br />

• subsidised medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and<br />

• benefits for medical treatment provided by doctors through private surgeries and<br />

Government Health Centres (not hospitals).<br />

You must enrol at Medicare offices in Australia if you will be receiving treatment.<br />

If you receive treatment before you enrol, Medicare benefits can be backdated, if you<br />

are eligible. To be eligible you must be a resident of the United Kingdom and will need<br />

to show your British passport with an appropriate visa. If you do not enrol at Medicare<br />

offices we may reject your claim or limit the amount we pay to you. If you need<br />

treatment which cannot be carried out under Medicare you MUST contact our<br />

24-hour Emergency Service before seeking private treatment. If you do not do so, we<br />

may reject your claim or limit the amount we pay to you.<br />

<strong>The</strong> service is available to you and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for<br />

Assistance will arrange for medical expenses covered by the policy to be paid direct<br />

to the hospital/clinic. To take advantage of this benefit someone must contact AXA<br />

Assistance for you as soon as possible.<br />

such requests, please call AXA Assistance for guidance.<br />
