Cancellation of Health Insurance
Navigating the risks of cancelling your visa health insurance.
Overview
Cancelling your health insurance while you are in Australia on a temporary visa can have serious consequences, including the cancellation of your visa. I provide urgent advice to visa holders who are considering cancelling their health insurance or whose policy has been cancelled by their provider. I will explain the risks and help you take immediate action to protect your visa.
Maintaining adequate health insurance is a mandatory condition for many temporary visas. If you cancel your policy or it is cancelled by your provider, you will be in breach of your visa conditions. The Department of Home Affairs may then take action to cancel your visa. It is crucial that you seek expert advice before taking any action to cancel your health insurance.
I can advise you on the steps you need to take to reinstate your health insurance or obtain a new policy without delay. I can also provide advice on your options if your visa is at risk of cancellation. My priority is to help you maintain your lawful status in Australia and avoid the serious consequences of being in breach of your visa conditions.
