Can't find a travel insurance policy

I'm struggling to find a travel insurance policy that will cover me and I'm hoping someone out there knows more than me!

I moved from the UK to temporarily live in Australia, I've been in Aus for a year now and I'm leaving to live in Canada for 6 months. I still maintain a UK address.
I was looking for travel insurance to cover my travel from Aus to Canada, and then from Canada to the UK and back for Christmas and any onward travel or leisure travel in between.

The policies I can see only cover for trips up to 90 days so I guess that means 90 days from the UK?
Can anyone recommend and insurer that would cover me for my situation?

Thanks!

    You cannot get a policy issue by a UK insurer if you are not resident in the UK, regardless of maintaining a UK address.

    You may be able to get cover from https://www.worldwideinsure.com or https://www.worldnomads.com

    Alternatively, can you not get insurance from an Australian insurance company?
  • I'm still a UK citizen with an address and I'm back fairly frequently so I'm not so worried about buying a UK policy, I just don't want to fall foul of the 90 day rule.

    I'll take a look at those sites though thankyou
