Why AFL insurance for accidental football injuries is becoming more popular in Australia
Aussies love their AFL
Footy is a great way to stay active and have fun while improving heart health, strength and mental wellness. It’s a popular sport, with over 528,000 people playing community football in 2024.
AFL injuries can be expensive
All those epic tackles and smothers can lead to injuries that Medicare, private health insurance or travel insurance don’t necessarily cover in full. The financial pain can hurt more than the injury itself.

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 injury cover for football accidents that's easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.

To see when your insurance starts or ends, head to your Flip Dashboard and look for your Certificate of Insurance.

Do you cover professional athletes?
Yes, we welcome weekend warriors and professionals alike when they want AFL injury insurance for accidents in general training or match days.
If I have Flip Active, Flip Kids or Flip Roaming, am I (or my kids) only covered for accidental injuries that happen at football games?
No, when your insurance is active, you’ve got cover for a range of common injuries that might happen in an accident, whether that be from running to catch a bus or jumping out of bed.
