Obviously something they don't advertise but they don't cover you overseas so no cover.... no use paying.
Not really worth it for 10 days in Bali but it could save you a lot on a long trip.

I did this for a 2 month overseas trip and the cunts at medicare slugged me with a levy for the 2 months I did not have private health cover. The bill came about a year or 2 after the fact so they do catch up with you eventually.
