Give your customers confidence

Flip Insurance can give your participants the extra peace of mind they might be looking for to take the leap and join your sports event in Australia.

While most sports are safe and exciting, accidents can happen.

Don't let unexpected injuries ruin your event – protect your participants with Flip accidental injury sports event group insurance.

Why sports event group 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 around 1.6 million sports injuries and 50,000 hospitalisations each year.

Sports injuries can be expensive

All that physical activity can lead to injuries that aren’t necessarily covered by Medicare, private health insurance or travel insurance in full. The financial pain can hurt more than the injury itself.

Ease the financial pain of accidental injuries at sports events

Sporting events are a great way to bring people together, improve opportunities for physical and mental health, and if your participants are covered with our sports event group insurance and get an injury of a severity that we cover, we give your participants a set cash payout within one business day for eligible claims.

Uncomplicated accidental Sports Event 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 accidental injury cover that's easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.

Covered

A participant was cycling through a paceline, hit a pothole and knocked out a tooth which required an implant denture.

Not covered

A participant had a post-ride hotdog, got food poisoning and extended their trip.

Covered

A tree branch ripped through a participant's leg, leaving a gash that needed stitches in the hospital emergency department.

Not covered

I tore a ligament while working at a burger bar.

Covered

A participant was covered on event day with Group Active, tore their ACL and then had surgery in the hospital.

Not covered

A participant tore their ACL before our event, bought a Flip subscription and then had surgery.

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.
Jordan | Director, O2 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.
Harrison | Founder, Soso Sports
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.
