As the cost of a return ticket is considered a part of any normal trip, in the event that you need to return to Australia due to an insured event, the cost of a ticket home is not covered under this policy.

If you have no other claim from which we can deduct this cost, we’ll seek recovery of the cost of the transport home directly from you, following your return home.
