Why martial arts insurance for accidental injuries is becoming more popular in Australia

Aussies love their martial arts

According to a 2019 Ausplay report, around 250,000 people aged over 15 participate in martial arts. While martial arts are popular for improving physical health, mental wellbeing, self-confidence, discipline and social skills, they also have the second-highest reported injury rate, with about 16% of participants injured in 2022.

Martial arts injuries can be expensive

All those epic battles 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.

Martial arts insurance eases the financial pain of accidental injuries

Combat sports are great for your physical and mental health, and if you’re training or competing with Flip activated and get an injury that we cover, we give you a set cash payout for eligible claims, mostly within one business day.

Uncomplicated accidental martial arts injury 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 martial arts 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.

Is Flip martial arts insurance a type of travel insurance?

No. Flip Active and Flip Kids insurance covers you for accidental injuries in Australia and New Zealand, but it is different to travel insurance because it pays you a set amount based on the injury you get. Some people use it in addition to 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.

Will you replace my equipment if it’s damaged in a martial arts accident?
