    Backpacker does seem really good....but doesn't seem to mention Repatriation which has to be covered. It does mention funeral costs but that's not the same thing? :/ I'll have to give them a buzz to find out!

    It doesn't involve anything! You just gotta be covered for it. Mentions it here below the bit about the medical exam ...>

    Repatriation just basically covers if you die and the costs involved in getting your body home. Most insurance companies do include it and mention it somewhere near the top of the policy document.
    I just can't see it on the backpackers one but maybe I've missed it, will read the fine print again on the website tomorrow :/
