TLDR : Answer Summary

The question pertains to whether Allianz travel insurance can be utilized for a 3-month duration of an OA visa while departing from Australia. The responses clarify that the OA visa actually lasts 12 months, and thus insurance should cover that full duration, not just 3 months. It's advised to consult with the insurance provider for specifics as policies often limit coverage to a set number of days per trip, and checking with the embassy about valid insurance options is also recommended.

Check with the embassy that you are applying for visa from. Some follow the goverment list some allow others.

OA visa (presume thats what you mean) has a longer validity than 3 months.

Only your travel insurance company could answer that. Cover is usually limited to a certain number of days per trip. Important to take it out before you leave home and, ideally, immediately upon booking flights/hotels to cover you for cancellation in case of accident or illness prior to departure.
