✈️Better protection for travellers, better for travel businesses.

Did you know that your ability to sell travel insurance at the time of booking was under threat?

Thanks to ATIA’s advocacy, travel businesses won’t need to wait 4 days to sell travel insurance.

ATIA successfully advocated for a continuation of the deferred sales model exemption that allows travel businesses to sell insurance at the time of booking.

🤝Better for travel agents, safer for travellers: ATIA is working to keep travel insurance available at the time of booking.

5 years ago, ATIA secured the exemption that currently allows travel businesses to offer insurance when clients book, ensuring travellers have insurance front of mind when booking. End result – more travellers buying travel insurance to reduce their risk when travelling.

But that exemption expires in October 2026.

📝Here's why we want the exemption to be extended and ideally made permanent.

🛫ATIA has always had a strong relationship with the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, including Passport Office and Consular Services, and we work alongside them for the benefit of our members and the whole travel industry.

Last week, ATIA CEO Dean Long and Director of Public Policy & Advocacy, Ingrid Fraser, met with DFAT to share insights into current Australian travel trends.
