CTI Verdict

Tick is one of Australia’s more affordable travel insurers, aimed at budget-conscious travellers. Dependants travel free with parents/grandparents, and cover is available up to age 100 on the higher-tier plans. Just be mindful that as a budget option, cover limits tend to be lower, so it’s worth checking the fine print if your trip has significant prepaid costs.
