Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible to buy Flip Insurance?

arrow down

Flip currently welcomes people that live in Australia, between the ages of 5 and 64.

This includes international students, people on working holiday visas and people on temporary working visas.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to buy our current product if you or your child:

  • don't live in Australia
  • are temporarily in Australia as a tourist

What counts as an accident or accidental injury?

arrow down

An Accident is a sudden, unexpected event i.e. you can pinpoint the precise time and location of when it happened.

An Accidental Injury / Injury is an acute injury or other physical damage to a person’s body that is caused by an Accident, and is unintentional.

It doesn’t include:

  • chronic injuries, like injuries from overuse, repetitive motion or wear and tear
  • accidents that happened before your insurance started or after it ended and pre-existing injuries
  • medical episodes or medical conditions like illnesses
  • injuries caused by surgery or medical care

My activities are really high-risk. Will you cover me?

arrow down

We cover most activities, so it’s easier to list the activities we don’t cover:

  • motorcycling (which includes dirt biking)
  • anything illegal
  • accidents while working (unless your work is sports related e.g. tennis coach)
  • anything that happens outside of a covered country

My Flip accidental injury insurance wasn’t turned on at the time of my accident. Can I claim?

arrow down

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.

Peace of mind

With Flip, you can enjoy those moments without worrying about the unexpected.

Why keeping kids playing sports is important

Active kids do better at school and enjoy lifelong rewards in physical, mental, social and economic wellbeing. While the benefits of kids playing sports are well documented, keeping headstrong teens from quitting sports can be challenging.

Kids who play sports do better at school

Australian research shows continued sports participation was associated with improved school performance. It boosts attendance and attention along with literacy, numeracy and year 12 results.

Active kids are physically and mentally healthier

Another Australian study concluded kids and teens who dropped out of organised sports had lower physical activity, greater body fat and greater depression at age 20 than those who continued participation.

Early habits shape lifelong outcomes

Habits formed in childhood and adolescence are crucial in setting up lifelong behaviours. Kids who play sports while growing up are more likely to remain active as adults, leading to improved physical, mental, social, and economic wellbeing for life.

Flip helps bridge the gap with the true cost of an accidental injury

Medicare and private health insurance can cover many health-related costs, but your kid can still be left out of pocket with unforeseen expenses as they recover.
