Re: Multi-trip travel insurance
JennyD78 said: Choice do good comparisons on travel insurance and tend to provide a lot of information about the different options, I'd check out their site choice.com.au Hi, thank you for the suggestion. I will check out the website. Best wishes, Jannine12Views0likes0CommentsMulti-trip travel insurance
Hi, Last year I arranged a multi-trip annual travel insurance policy with All Clear. However this year one of my trips exceeds the 42 day limit for single trips. I wondered if anyone else had found an insurer who would offer annual insurance without a duration of trip limitation? Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hi, I start radiotherapy in two weeks. I have a short weekend break booked beforehand but I'm wondering if there is anything you would recommend to help manage through the treatments (three weeks) and for afterwards? I've read some other posts about avoiding swimming and heat which rules out a spa day. I feel like I need something restful afterwards as I will be working full time through the treatment and I'm living alone. also any recommendations on creams or other ways to manage the skin?

No complaints . I've had private health in the past and to b honest not much difference except the financials.. feel free to reach out x Hi, Thank you for your message. If you don't mind me asking how long did you wait for the public system referral to see a surgeon? And then how long for the first surgery? I probably can't afford the intermediary option and I have now found out that if I do start down that road if I then can't afford it I have to be referred to the public system anyway and start the whole process off again. I just feel like I need to get this started but I know I can't go down a path of tens of thousands of dollars. It is paralysing trying to make decisions and each time I meet with a professional I seem to forget to ask the obvious questions. I prepare well but when they answer the questions I can't seem to think about how to follow up to receive more information. ps also how do I reply to people with the email as you did to me? I can only see the quote option...technology fail0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone have advice for me on options for surgery? Newly arrived in Australia

It is great to hear lots of positive experience about the public system since the private one is very expensive. I am in a somewhat similar situation since I was supposed to move to Australia in April (I had packed, moved out, searched for an apartment in Sydney with my husband, etc) but I had to cancel everything 2 days before flying when the biopsy results were announced. I'm currently doing radiotherapy and we're still hoping to be able to move to Sydney in September. But we're trying to figure out the costs of my ongoing hormonal treatment and the follow up checks to know if we could afford it. Since this is a precondition, I won't be able to get cover from any private insurance. All the best for your treatment. Take care! Hi Clara, I'm sorry to hear that you are also in a similar position. It is so difficult to work out the options. I had thought intermediate but with only 50% cover this is starting to look unrealistic. Are you in the UK? how long did you wait for treatment?
