I dropped off this thread just when it was getting interesting… My outbound travel exemption bobbed up as I was catching up, and I expect this will be the last.
I live in Qld. Seven days home quarantine is the holy grail for me, personally.
I live one hour ten minutes from BNE, but five k over the border into Somerset. Of course the trial didn’t apply to international anyway. I am truly over Qld and its idiotic rules.
Anyway I never expected home quarantine and budgeted for another 14 days furiously pedalling my exercise bike in a tiny room. I expect to get the bill sometime in mid 2022. Swings and roundabouts, I’d rather wait forever for a bill than wait forever for permission to cross the border and come home.
Several of the Australian insurers have notes up to say ‘we’re working on it, real soon now’.
I took out a Heymondo policy myself, which has been very popular among exempt outbound travellers. The wording around ‘do not travel’ bans is a bit vague but I have an email confirmation that their COVID cover applies despite the general travel ban.
