Travel Insurance

Eligible Financial Members* of the CFMEU, NSW and their accompanying Immediate Family* are insured for:

  • Interstate travel whilst engaged on private pleasure travel by air, rail, motor vehicle or sea; and
  • International travel from point of departure to the intended destination, associated leisure travel and return
*To check if you are an eligible member see the 'Travel Insurance - Important Definitions' section below.
Note: The policy is designed to cater to those travellers fit and capable of travelling at the time of undertaking the travel. Should a traveller undertake travel against doctor’s advice, or should it be deemed that the traveller should have consulted with a doctor prior to travelling, it is likely you will not be covered.

To remain covered you must remain financial for the period of your travel. To ensure that you remain financial you can pay your union dues by direct debit.

See our membership section on this website or contact the Union membership department.
