The WYD Steering Committee is now able to confirm that Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) and Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne (CAM) will be providing travel insurance via a group travel insurance policy to cover all travellers that form part of our pilgrimage group to WYD23 (this will include all young people, students, leaders, support team, employees and chaplains).
This insurance will be paid for by CAM and MACS at no additional cost to you.
The insurance coverage will be from your initial departure from Australia (including any pre-pilgrimages via Holy Land and/or Italy) until your return to Australia however will not include any additional personal travel.
The policy is currently being finalised and will be provided through AIG Travel Guard a highly regarded provider of international travel insurance.
The full policy and product disclosure statement with all insurance details will be provided in the coming week including details of how to access insurance in an emergency situation.
Once the details of the insurance are provided we strongly encourage to you review in detail. On review, each traveller (or parent/guardian) is requested to make their own individual assessment if the insurance will meet their needs. Depending on the individual assessment travellers may seek their own individual additional insurance coverage.
