Travel Insurance

Conference
2014 National Retired Members Conference
Date
25 June 2014
Decision
Carried

Conference notes with concern the lack of reviewing of the age of the older population when Travel Insurance is required. Insurance companies take no consideration for anyone becoming “over 70 years of age” and premiums are increased on age alone. Government policy on retirement age is to increase the age of retirement.

Therefore we instruct the National Retired Members Committee to seek ways to approach the Insurance industry to review the age of the insured to 80 years of age, in accordance with government policy.
