Looks like VFF have are promoting their Pet Insurance promotion which I noticed on a VFF email. Link is here Online Pet Insurance for Cats | Petinsurance.com.au Australia
Some key points I picked up (or not):
T's and C's here

Some key points I picked up (or not):
- From T's and C's below, VFF points credited within 37 days (I've seen previous identical promotion of 90 days)
- I've done a dummy quote and a 1 year old cat in my area comes to around 18 dollars per month. I tried some others (i.e make it 10 years old) didn't alter the policy that much, even make it a dog made it only $24pm.
- Payments can be fortnightly
- I'm not sure if this is an ongoing promotion or for a time limit. It did not say "sign by xx_x".
- 3 VFF points per dollar spent on policy.
- Haven't seen anywhere about minimum time to sign up (Could be in the PDS, but haven't read through it)
- There is a Promo code (I didn't have one), so that could make it cheaper if one could find (I haven't searched as yet)
- The only comment I can see about not signing up multiple policies is the comment "Existing policy holders not eligible for this offer"...which likely to be interpreted the first successful sign up would be eligible and any subsequent if done at the same time wouldn't be, but you never know.

I try to think of this money as "invisible". I obviously do use it for trips but it's always there for other things like IF my cats need medical attention (so far they haven't needed anything major or expensive). Better the money in my "Savings Maximiser" account (which used to give great interest once upon a time - now it's rubbish) than going to some insurance company and I many not use it plus they'll most likely not cover my kitties in their time of need with exclusions like you said.
