“If you are an Australian Expat, or if you are living in Australia under a 457 visa, Marsh can offer you specialist Expatriate Health Insurance cover to ensure you are protected”.

For people working overseas, there can be many hidden pitfalls to do with the cost of health care.

Not purchasing the right sort of insurance before leaving home can result in individuals having to pay very costly medical bills out of their own pocket. Expatriates can even face problems when temporarily returning home for a holiday.

To assist with the challenge of selecting the Expatriate Health coverage that suits your needs, Marsh provides you with access to many of the world’s major Expatriate Health Insurers. In addition Marsh has developed an Expatriate Health plan in consultation with insurer, QBE Insurance Group.

As a leading specialist international heath insurance practice in Australia, Marsh is the insurance advisor
to over 300 major corporate and public sector organisations.

Marsh can insure:

• Expatriates - Australian expatriates on assignment outside Australia
• Non Residents - 457 visa holders - non Australians on assignment in Australia

Policies are specifically designed to enable organisations to provide comprehensive expatriate health cover to their expatriate employees and their accompanying families, however individuals working overseas may also take advantage of this insurance.

Each Policy offers an extensive range of hospital, medical, dental, and ancillary benefits for members
and their families in order to protect them against the high cost of medical treatment while working overseas. The plan also provides them with cover while they are in their home country.

There are no territorial restrictions whilst operating 24-hour, worldwide, as well as global emergency assistance, and flexible options to meet medical expenses incurred either through illness or injury.

Australian expatriates and 457 visa holders entering Australia face unique problems due to Australian
health legislation relating to Medicare, Medicare Levy Surcharge and Lifetime Health Cover. Marsh can
offer potential solutions including continuity into the Australian health system and supplementary cover.
