Insurance for the moment
Peace of mind for life’s adventures
Our story
Insurance made for today
We exist to help you enjoy more of the moments that matter.
Up until now, insurance has been expensive, confusing and inflexible. We’ve heard too many times that people can be covered for all sorts of things they’d never need, at times they didn’t need it, or not covered when they needed it the most.
That’s why we created Flip. We believe everyone should have access to affordable, flexible cover that protects them from the financial impact of accidental injuries so they can get out there and do more of the things they love.
Where it all began
Flip was founded in 2021 by HCF, Australia’s largest not-for-profit health insurer, to help underinsured Australians protect themselves from the financial pain of injuries.
Innovation runs deep
We've completely changed how people can protect themselves from unexpected injury costs with our Australian-first, pay-as-you-need cover.
Launched Australia’s first on-demand accidental injury insurance
Introduced Japan Pass for the Japan snowsport season
Updated purchase options to better suit customer needs
Created Group Active, a policy option for event and sport group hosts
By popular demand, launched Flip Kids to cover their injuries
Launched Flip Roaming, our accidental injury insurance option for Australians abroad
We’re not done yet
Every day, we challenge ourselves to keep innovating. We push the limits of what’s possible. We want to fill insurance gaps in new ways to protect our customers better. We’ve got some exciting projects in the pipeline, so watch this space.
