Yes, Australians can buy a World Nomads policy when already overseas!
You can most definitely buy a policy even if you’re already travelling, working, living or studying in another country.
If you buy a policy when you're overseas and the policy start date is within 72 hours of issue of your Certificate of Insurance, you'll need to wait 72 hours for cover to begin. However, if you suffer a sudden illness or serious injury as the result of an accident after the state date, there's cover for emergency overseas medical expenses and emergency transport expenses straight away.
If you purchase a policy when you're overseas and the policy start date is 72 hours or more after issue your Certificate of Insurance, cover for Cancellation or Trip Interruption expenses will begin 72 hours from the time we issue the policy, with all other benefits commencing on your departure date
You can also keep buying more cover while away from home to extend your trip up to 12 months in total by signing into your World Nomads membership as long as you extend it before the policy end date (before midnight Australian Eastern time) and the same product is available./au/help/insurance/buying-travel-insurance/can-i-buy-if-im-already-overseas www.worldnomads.com The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.

We are taking a break from sales to prepare our products and offering for the future of international travel. During this time all products will be unavailable.
If you have purchased a policy from us you still have cover and can claim as per the policy documentation. If your travel is affected by government restrictions, we have options available if you no longer need your policy.
Keep in touch and we’ll let you know when we’re offering travel insurance.
