Travel Insurance for Australia with medical condition??

[LibbyGreen]

Has anyone  got a recommendation for travel insurance? We’re going to Australia for around 3 months & are trying to work out the best insurance.

We’re 60+ and one of us has a health condition (CLL) but it doesn’t need treatment & we’re both in good health apart from that.

The quotes I’ve received so far are around £1000  which is more than the flight!!!

Each policy seems to offer something different so any recommendations would be helpful thanks.

I'm in a fairly similar position so would also like to see if anyone has any good tips!

Try Saga and Age Concern for recommendations.

Google - plenty of companies out there  - some banks I believe offer travel insurance as do credit cards.

If you have health insurance they might be able to help or try that  avenue - actually thinking about it as I am of a similar age, with various health conditions when I went to USA pre Covid for a month - was around £400/500 but that was yearly - so guess if there are two of you, maybe it is correct. I use to when I travelled to USA cover my self to the hilt as well as repatriation to UK if I got too ill.
