How It Works

How Smartraveller Levels Affect Your Cover

Travel to Level 4 “Do Not Travel” destinations is not covered. Go Insurance also does not provide cover for travel to Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia or Ukraine. Always read the Product Disclosure Statement for the full terms, conditions and exclusions that apply.

Common Questions

Smartraveller Warnings — Frequently Asked Questions

What Australian travellers most often ask about travel warnings and Go Insurance cover.

Does Go Insurance cover travel to “Do Not Travel” destinations?

No. Go Insurance does not provide cover for travel to destinations subject to a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” warning. If a warning is raised to Level 4 while you are already overseas, refer to the PDS and contact our team for guidance.

Does Go Insurance cover “Reconsider your need to travel” destinations?

Yes. Travel to destinations at Level 3 “Reconsider your need to travel” is covered, regardless of the reason the warning is in place. Cover remains subject to the limits, conditions and exclusions in the PDS.

What are the four Smartraveller advisory levels?

Smartraveller uses four levels: Level 1 (Exercise normal safety precautions), Level 2 (Exercise a high degree of caution), Level 3 (Reconsider your need to travel) and Level 4 (Do not travel). Each destination is assigned an overall level by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Which countries does Go Insurance not cover at all?

Go Insurance does not provide cover for travel to Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia or Ukraine (General Exclusion 39), regardless of the current advisory level. See the PDS for details.

How often are the advisory levels on this page updated?

The levels on this page sync automatically from the Australian Government’s Smartraveller service and show a “last synced” date. Advisory levels can change at any time, so always check smartraveller.gov.au directly before you travel.

What happens to my cover if a warning changes after I buy?

Cover is assessed against the conditions set out in your policy and the PDS. If you have specific questions about a changing situation, read the War & Armed Conflict Disruption Cover page or contact our team before you travel.

Can I register my trip with the Australian Government?

Yes. You can register your trip and subscribe to travel alerts for your destinations through the Smartraveller website, run by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. We recommend doing this for every overseas trip.
