Aussies love mountain biking
Mountain biking is a fantastic way to stay fit and enjoy the great outdoors. According to a 2021 report by Mountain Bike Australia, there are likely to be at least 300,000 mountain bike participants across Australia.
MTB injuries can be expensive
All those epic trails can lead to injuries that Medicare, private health insurance or travel insurance don’t necessarily cover in full. The financial pain can hurt more than the injury itself.

This means you’re not covered for anything that happens before your insurance starts or after it ends. To see when your insurance starts or ends, head to your Flip Dashboard and look for your Certificate of Insurance.
