Flip offers accidental injury insurance cover, which is issued by its owner HCF Life, a subsidiary of Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund, HCF. The Flip company was founded in 2021, and we set out on a mission to create insurance that people love by daring to be different.
It is a type of personal accident insurance that you can turn on and off as you need. You get a cash payout for approved claims if you suffer an eligible accidental injury. There are no waiting periods and no cancellation fees. You can use your cash however you like, whether it’s on medical costs that aren’t covered by your insurance, Ubers to your appointments, or getting a babysitter or food delivery while you’re out of action. Whatever works for you.
Our mission is to create insurance that people love, by daring to be different.
This is how we do it:
On-demand accidental injury insurance means you can buy and manage your insurance with just a few clicks and use it only when you need it. It also means we don’t have any waiting periods. When you turn your insurance on, it starts straightaway or on the scheduled date you decide.
If you’re unlucky enough to find yourself in an accident straight after turning your insurance on, and you’ve suffered an injury (or injuries) that we cover, you can go ahead and submit a claim. And because we’re fully digital, you’ll be able to do this in just a few clicks. Just be sure to have the evidence of your accident and injuries on hand, as we’ll need you to take pics of that. Head to the Claims page to learn more about our claims process.
Of course. Flip products are issued by HCF Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia’s largest not-for-profit health insurer, HCF. We’re legit.

You can use your cash however you like. Here’s a list of some of the things people generally spend their money on when they get injured:
No. With Flip accidental injury insurance, you’re covered for a range of accidental injuries that happen while your insurance is active.
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.
When you submit your claim, you’ll need to provide proof of your accident and injuries, including where and when they happened.
Flip accidental injury insurance covers injuries caused by accidents. Illnesses, health conditions, or injuries not caused by accidents aren’t covered.
Once your claim is approved, we’ll organise the cash straight away. Whilst we hope the money gets to you ASAP, this can depend on your bank and business hours.
We're so sorry to hear that. Please contact our helpful team so we can kick-start the process for you.
