Most travel insurance, including annual policies, have limits on the duration of any individual "trip". Some are 60 days, most are 90 days, some may be more. But to be covered for an extended period like a year you will need to look specific for such a policy. I would be very surprised if any policies provided through credit cards will cover an extended trip such as you describe. Read the PDS and understand what you are buying.

Agreed.. all policies are different and it is best to have a read of the PDS, most of which are available online.
