Flip it on
AFL footy insurance for accidental injuries.

Kick with confidence

Flip can give you extra peace of mind whether you want protection for yourself or your child.

AFL is an action-packed sport, and injuries are always a possibility. 

Don't let an unexpected injury ruin your day – make sure you're protected with Flip.

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.

AFL insurance eases the financial pain of accidental injuries

If you’re training or playing with Flip activated and get an injury we cover, we give you a set cash payout for eligible claims, mostly within one business day.

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