24 June ATIA delivers live updates for members alongside Smartraveller and key suppliers in response to downgraded Middle East advisory level June 24, 2026 By Amanda Rixon Media Release 0 With traveller interest spiking following the adjustment of the Government's Travel Advisory Level, ATIA is again hosting a real-time supplier update webinar on Wednesday 24 June to bring clarity and practical tools for members to understand what the advisory downgrade means for travel insurance. This webinar builds on the incredible value of the live supplier updates that ATIA coordinated in March when the conflict in the Middle East began – and has been tailored in line with member feedback on the value of real-time industry updates. A huge thank you to the webinar speakers from Cover-More Travel Insurance, NIB Insurance, PassportCard, Go Insurance, DFAT and Smartraveller who will be facilitating the webinar alongside ATIA. Each speaker will deliver a session exploring key differences in insurer responses, important considerations when advising clients travelling through the Middle East and practical insights to help you provide informed advice and manage client expectations. ATIA members will receive the registration link via email.
