Backpack serves as a protection program for all university affiliated outbound travellers. Taking coverage beyond insurance, to ensure peace of mind for your travellers.

Backpack provides pre-departure risk management tools, educational sessions, training to aid in settlement and adjustment.

The tools and resources in the program ensure all travellers are able to navigate a foreign health care system through our worldwide medical network, direct billing, virtual doctor services, physical and mental health coverage and 24/7 assistance.

In the event of a medical emergency or crisis, being in the know is of upmost importance. Through the Peak mobile app, we track and communicate with all travellers in an affected area and ensure all detailed incident reports are made available to appointed administrators.

We’ve got your backpack.
