Can I get travel insurance if I'm already overseas and currently don't have insurance?

Applicants can acquire travel insurance within Australia at any time even if they are currently traveling abroad.

If you purchase a policy while you are overseas and the policy start date is within 72 hours of receiving your Certificate of Insurance, you must wait 72 hours for coverage to begin. However, if you are seriously injured due to an accident after the commencement date, you will be covered immediately for emergency foreign medical and dental expenditures, evacuation, and repatriation fees.

However, if you get travel insurance after you've begun your vacation, such as on your way to the airport, you must ensure that the policy still provides adequate coverage. And if you purchase your coverage while on your way, it is unlikely to cover any delays that force you to miss your flight. Review more on travel insurance benefits.
