How Flip Helps
Accidental injuries can be expensive
Your travel insurance may not provide accidental injury cover for all your planned activities, or cover some injury treatments or medical expenses (we suggest you check). And once you’re back in Australia, Medicare may not cover hidden costs that leave you out of pocket during recovery.
Why personal accidental injury insurance is becoming more popular for travelling Australians
Aussies love to explore the world
Australians took over 8.3 million overseas trips in the 2023 financial year, with Indonesia, the UK and Fiji among the most popular destinations.
Accidental injuries can be expensive
All those amazing international adventures can lead to accidents and injuries that travel insurance, private health insurance or Medicare don’t necessarily cover in full. The financial pain can end up hurting more than the injury itself, and put your recovery at risk.
Peace of mind for accidental travel injuries
If you’ve got Flip Roaming activated for your trip and you’re unlucky enough to get hurt, we’ve got your back. If you get an accidental injury of a specified severity at a covered destination, you’ll get up to $20,000 in reimbursements for overseas medical care and $50,000 in cash payouts for eligible claims.
Uncomplicated travel accidental injury cover
Understanding what you’re covered for can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realise until after something's gone wrong that you might have a lot of costs to pay. We've created simple cover for accidental injuries that happen to Australian residents travelling overseas in covered destinations. It’s easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is travel accidental injury insurance?
Flip Roaming is an accidental injury insurance designed for travelling Australians that pays you cash if you get hurt as a result of an accident in an overseas destination that we cover. It reimburses you for eligible overseas medical care and pays extra recovery cash if your injury is of a specified severity.
Is Flip Roaming a type of travel insurance?
No. Flip Roaming is different from commonly available forms of travel insurance because it covers you for accidental injuries only. While it provides cover for the costs of overseas medical care you receive, it also pays you a set amount based on the severity of the injury you get. Some people use Flip Roaming alongside travel insurance for extra protection, if they are doing something not covered by their travel insurance. Read our PDS to see if Flip is right for you.
Do you cover extreme adventure sports while I’m overseas?
Yes. When your insurance cover is active, you’re covered for almost any sport, hobby or activity (except motorcycling), even extreme sports like hang gliding or off-piste skiing. Check the PDS for more details.
How does Flip Roaming sit alongside travel insurance?
Basic travel insurance policies may charge high premiums for adventure activities, or exclude some activities by default. With Flip Roaming, you’ve automatically got cover for (almost) any activity, including extreme adventure sports like skiing off-piste, running with the bulls, scuba diving, skydiving and base jumping (but excluding motorcycling), for the weeks you choose, for $80 a week. Check the PDS for more details.
Do I need to advise Flip what activities I plan to do?
No. Flip Roaming automatically includes cover for (almost) any activity. Whereas some traditional travel insurance policies require you to pay high premiums or excess, or purchase add-ons for adventure activities. Check the PDS for more details.
What destinations are covered by Flip Roaming?
You’ve got cover for eligible injuries in Japan, Canada, Indonesia, Fiji, the UK, European Union countries, Switzerland and Norway.
What cash payouts can I get with Flip Roaming?
Eligible claims get up to $70K in cash payouts paid in Australian dollars direct to your Australian bank account. This includes overseas medical cash of up to $20K plus extra recovery cash of up to $50K, depending on the severity of your injury.
What can I use the payouts for?
The overseas medical cash pays you back up to $20K for any eligible medical expenses you paid while overseas. The extra recovery cash of up to $50K can be spent on anything you like, from travel expenses, to rehab, to replacing damaged gear.
Can I get one-day insurance for accidental injuries while travelling overseas?
At this stage, you can only buy Flip Roaming by the week to provide peace of mind for injuries during your overseas travel.
Who is Flip Roaming for?
Flip currently welcomes Australian residents between the ages of 5 and 64 to purchase our cover for overseas accidents in covered locations. This includes international students, people on working holiday visas and people on temporary working visas. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to buy our current product if you or your child don't live in Australia or are temporarily in Australia as a tourist.
Does Flip Roaming cover illness?
No. Flip Roaming covers you for accidental injuries (not illnesses) while you’re in covered destinations.
Does Flip Roaming cover travel-related expenses like lost luggage, damaged equipment or repatriation?
No. Flip Roaming helps with the costs of Accidental Injury.
The Overseas Medical Cash benefit reimburses the cost of eligible Overseas Medical Care as a result of an Accidental Injury.
The Extra Recovery Cash benefit pays extra cash amounts for eligible Accidental Injuries.
If I have Flip Roaming, am I (or my kids) only covered for accidental injuries that happen while we’re doing adventure sports?
No, when your insurance is active, you’ve got cover for a range of common injuries that might happen in an accident, whether that be from whitewater rafting to jumping out of bed.
