Compare travel insurance for Italy
Medical, cancellation and luggage cover from Australian insurers.
Medical, cancellation and luggage cover from Australian insurers. Australia has a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Italy covering medically necessary public treatment for up to six months. Show your Australian passport and Medicare card. It doesn't cover ambulance costs in all regions, repatriation, or private hospitals — travel insurance is still needed.

Italy travel insurance FAQs
Does Medicare cover me in Italy?
Partly. Australia's Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Italy covers medically necessary treatment in the public system for up to six months. Bring your Medicare card and passport. It won't cover private hospitals, repatriation or all ambulance costs, so insurance is still worth holding.
