  There's plenty of insurance providers in Indonesia - has your friend actually been to a travel agent? Else try the major underwriters instead of going to Aussie sites / third parties. Lloyds, Alliance, etc all offer a range of policies for a range of nationalities.

    keomorodok was a fake account, that someone had created solely for the purpose of giving you their referral ID.

    As Pennae says, he must be able to get it in Indonesia - you typically can't commence travel insurance prior to the journey beginning. Also, he would have his medical history and you do not. Best to get him to do it.

      Oops, meant to say "can't commence travel insurance after the journey beginning".

  Have you looked at World Nomads? I'm pretty sure they'll cover your needs as they cover people from 150 countries and are Lonely Planets travel insurance partner.

  I think American International Group - or AIG - operates in most Asian countries - I know they do travel insurance for Korean residents.

  Here is their Indonesian website:

  Global site:

  I'm sure they would have policies for Indonesians.

  Pretty difficult to get insurance once they arrive in Australia so purchasing before departure is a good idea.

  Other global providers could include:

  and

  not sure if Mondial are in Indonesia - but worth a search:
