Why sports event group insurance is becoming more popular in Australia
Aussies love sport
Over 40% of us participate in sports every week, but it comes at a cost, with around 1.6 million sports injuries and 50,000 hospitalisations each year.
Sports injuries can be expensive
All that physical activity can lead to injuries that aren’t necessarily covered by Medicare, private health insurance or travel insurance in full. The financial pain can hurt more than the injury itself.
Ease the financial pain of accidental injuries at sports events
Sporting events are a great way to bring people together, improve opportunities for physical and mental health, and if your participants are covered with our sports event group insurance and get an injury of a severity that we cover, we give your participants a set cash payout within one business day for eligible claims.
Uncomplicated accidental Sports Event injury cover
Understanding what you’re covered for can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realise until after something’s gone wrong that you might have a lot of costs to pay. We've created accidental injury cover that's easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.
Covered
A participant was cycling through a paceline, hit a pothole and knocked out a tooth which required an implant denture.
Not covered
A participant had a post-ride hotdog, got food poisoning and extended their trip.
Covered
A tree branch ripped through a participant's leg, leaving a gash that needed stitches in the hospital emergency department.

I received great service from Flip, the communication was clear and professional and they helped me out when I needed it. The coverage is great, it covers all it needs to!
Signing up literally took less than two minutes. Being able to cancel when I don’t need it and get cover again when I do is perfect for my lifestyle.

I’m always skeptical of insurance products and it being too good to be true, so need to find the catch. Not this time, Flip's the real deal.

I feel super protected with Flip because it helps with out of pocket gaps and random expenses. I wouldn’t be without it for the peace of mind.
Flip has demonstrated an ability to be nimble and responsive to our needs as an event organiser, and the needs of our event participants.Adding Flip coverage to our event participants, or making it simple for them to purchase themselves have been great value adds to our events.
I set out to find the best insurer to cover our members and I found them! Flip Insurance has gone above and beyond for our members whenever they have an injury. Every claim has been paid out straight away, very happy with the service.
I contacted the Flip team because I wanted to change the way we approach athlete welfare. Working with Flip was about covering people at events rather than leaving them stranded with a waiver form. The team at Flip has the same mentality around wellbeing, so we have a synergy and our partnership has been hugely productive and positive.
