Whether you have booked a Christian Fellowship Tours holiday or are planning something else, we strongly recommend that you consider taking out travel insurance.
As the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade advises:
“If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.”
Travel insurance not only covers you while you are away but also protects you against cancellation or changes before departure due to illness or unforeseen circumstances.
Please note: Travel insurance is compulsory for all passengers travelling on international tours, and it is a condition of travel that you provide CFT with proof of insurance prior to departure.
It’s important to compare travel insurance policies to find the right cover for your needs—not just the cheapest option, which might miss key benefits. In Australia, many brands are backed by major insurers like Allianz, Chubb, QBE, Lloyd’s, and Zurich. Since policies vary, always review what’s included and excluded to ensure it fits your travel plans.
Whilst we cannot recommend a specific insurer, here’s a list of well-known companies that offer travel insurance to Australian travellers. Some are direct insurers, while others are brands underwritten by major insurance providers. Each brand offers different levels of cover and optional extras, so it’s always worth reading the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and comparing policies carefully.
We strongly encourage you to choose a policy that provides comprehensive protection and peace of mind throughout your journey.
