Travel Insurance for Bipolar

[_KR_]

Not sure where to post this...

My daughter may be off to NZ on a school trip. It won't be until late next year and I've just put a deposit down. I think I need specific travel insurance incase she is not stable enough to go. If I cancel the trip now I still have to pay the whole $2800.

I would like to be able to get specific mental health travel insurance so I don't lose money on the trip, also if she becomes unstable whilst on the trip she will be covered.

Does anyone here have recommendations for travel insurance for mental health.

Thanks

Hi *KR*,

This is an interesting one, I can't say I have ever seen travel insurance with a mental health policy. I was just thinking maybe calling the Beyond Blue helpline on 1300 22 4636 if you don't find the answer you want from someone on here, they may have an idea on if there is a specific company that looks after mental health illnesses.

Have you called the usual travel insurance companies and spoken to them?

My best for you,

Jay

Hi *KR*, while we can't provide recommendations for specific companies here on the forums, beyondblue has done a lot of work in this area - have a look at this page of our website.
