Hi. Wondered what people generally do re. travel insurance when returning to the UK for holidays/to visit family? I am British and now also an Australian citizen. My partner is Australian. Our daughter has an Australian passport, was born here, but dual citizen as I am British. I have always just purchased an annual travel insurance policy, but ours is currently out of date. We don't have any other big trips planned this year, so wondering about purchasing cover just for a trip this year which is 3 weeks in the UK visiting family and 2 weeks in France. Presumably I am covered for medical issues in the UK and I wouldn't need to be insured for spending time in the UK in my parents' home... but obviously want to be covered for any flight issues / trip cancellation / luggage loss. Or is there no way to separate these, and we need just to buy general travel insurance cover, just as any Australian family would when visiting the UK? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi, Has anyone a recommendation for an Insurance Broker in Adelaide area? I'm looking for nothing special, just an experienced broker who cooperates with a lot of different insurers for all life situations. Thanks a lot Cheers

Hi guys, I don't know if you have given much thought about income protection but you will be able to listen in on a free webinar tonight for advice on this which will also include a 15 minute Q&A session with a financial adviser. This might be something you have been putting off for a while or if not, then consider how you would support your current lifestyle, partner, kids, mortgage, bills etc if anything were to happen to you? 2/3 of people are under insured and your income is your most important asset, you cannot place a value on your health. So if you are free tonight 8:30pm ACDT (Adelaide time) I urge you to listen in on this session but you will need to register here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/235151554

Hello there, We now have everything in storage while we wait for our visa and I need to do the shipping insurance. Anybody had any experience of it? Have you made a claim before? Most of the time I feel that insurance is a waste of time as it never seems to cover what is really necessary. When filling in the insurance form it asks in detail the total contents by item. If I was to insure 100 cd's for example, but i owned 150, if 50 go missing could I claim for it or would they tell me that I still have 100 left that are fine? Because we already have the stuff in storage and we didn't count it we only have aproximate numbers. Any feedback would be welcome.
