Found a link to International Health Insurance Group based in Denmark ( http://www.ihi.com/english.asp ) on the NZAC link below
http://www.alpineclub.org.nz/default.aspx?p=344

Have only had a quick look on their site and it is available for Australians and there is no restrictions on "hazardous sports or occupations (except motorsports)". In the NZAC link there is a recommendation from Lincoln Hall who had IHI insurance for Everest and he really did use it. There is a max payout of $300,000 US but unfortunately it doesn't appear to cover luggage.

If you are 17-36 the cost is $US163 for 30 days, $447 for 90 days and $834 for 180 days. This is a similar price to what Flight Centre etc offers and twice the price of what you can find online. If it included luggage it would be by far the best insurance policy available to Australians that I have come across that covers all types of mountaineering.

They also have an annual policy which limits each trip to 30 days and is $163 for the year.


Anway I haven't read the fine print. I'll leave that to anyone that is interested.
