It isn’t mandatory, but we certainly recommend it for everyone going over our programs. As part of your Visa fees, it will be £1552 for your Immigration Healthcare Surcharge. This allows you access to the NHS and standard health coverage while you are in the United Kingdom on the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa. Like Medicare here in Australia, it covers some medical expenses and does not cover some others.
Here are some links that will help give you some more information; www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/overview ; www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/thenhs/about/Pages/overview.
Of course, you will only be covered while you are in the United Kingdom, so if you are at any point travelling to Europe or elsewhere, you will want to make sure you are covered for any accidents or emergencies. We partner with Allianz and Aussie Travel Cover to offer travel insurance at competitive rates for any of our participants heading over to the UK who require coverage.
*A refund is payable if you are declined for an Adventure Resort position. If you are declined as a direct result of misleading or false information on your application, no refund will be offered. You are permitted to swap another UK Live Work and Play program such as Jumpstart London™ no extra cost.
