Why sports injury 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 over 65,000 hospitalisations in 2020-21.
Aussies spend around $29.8 billion in out-of-pocket medical expenses each year. Ouch.
Sports insurance eases the financial pain of injuries.
Sport is great for your physical and mental health, and if you’re playing sport with Flip activated and get an injury that we cover, we give you a set cash payout within a few days for eligible claims.

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.
Flip it on when you need it, flip it off when you don’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flip’s on-demand accidental injury insurance?
It is a type of personal insurance that provides cover if you have an injury from an accident. Flip has a range of accidental injury insurance products that offer cash payouts for eligible accidental injuries that happen whilst you're covered. 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.
My Flip accidental injury insurance wasn’t turned on at the time of my accident. Can I claim?
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.
Do you cover extreme sports?
When you have an active Flip Active, Flip Kids or Flip Roaming policy, you or your child are covered for almost any sport, hobby or activity (except motorcycling) and even extreme sports. Check the PDS for more detail.
Is Flip Roaming a type of travel insurance?
No. Flip Roaming is different from commonly available forms of travel insurance because it covers you for accidental injuries only. While it provides cover for the costs of overseas medical care you receive, it also pays you a set amount based on the severity of the injury you get. Some people use Flip Roaming alongside travel insurance for extra protection, if they are doing something not covered by their travel insurance. Read our PDS to see if Flip is right for you.
Does Flip cover professional athletes?
Yes, we welcome weekend warriors and professionals alike when they want personal sports insurance for general training, event days or competitions in a range of countries.
If I buy a Flip product, am I (or my kids) only covered for injuries that happen at sporting events?
No, when your insurance is active, you’re covered for accidental injuries in all sorts of situations, even when jumping out of bed.
