flag Australian travelers skip insurance and warnings, risking safety and huge medical costs abroad.

flag Young Australian travelers are increasingly risking their safety and finances by traveling abroad without insurance, failing to review travel advisories, or consuming alcohol with unfamiliar labels. flag In 2024-25, 23% traveled uninsured, and over 60% skipped destination-specific warnings, despite popular spots like the Himalayas, Machu Picchu, and Myanmar being rated high-risk by Smartraveller. flag Without proper coverage, travelers face potentially crippling medical bills—such as $30,000+ in the U.S.—and may be left unprotected for high-risk activities or travel to unstable regions. flag Experts stress the need to read policy details, disclose all activities, and consult qualified agents to ensure adequate, tailored coverage.
