How we’re daring to be different

Accidents happen and injuries can be expensive, but insurance has always been complicated, inflexible and costly. That’s why we reinvented personal insurance for today.

On-demand

Flip it on when you need it, flip it off when you don’t.

There are some days you feel more at risk of injury than others. Traditional insurance makes you pay for every day, no matter what you’re doing. With Flip, you’re in control. Triathlon today? Flip it on. Massive Netflix binge? Flip it off. You’ve got the flexibility to turn your cover on and off as you please, with no lock-in contracts or waiting periods.

Instant

No waiting periods. Get cover on the go in a few taps.

Adventures can be spontaneous, and we’re right there with you. With Flip, you can instantly activate your cover with no quotes, delays or waiting. So if you’re heading out there to enjoy life and feeling a little worried about injury, you can flip on your cover and seize the day knowing you’ve got cover if something goes wrong.

Digital

Lightning-fast sign-up. Make claims and receive payouts from anywhere.

No paperwork, no phone calls. Everything is designed for speed, and all you need is a connected device. Activate cover in a few taps, submit a claim online and get cash straight to your bank account for approved claims. And in case you were wondering, we use robust encryption and secure payment methods to protect your data and privacy.

Affordable

Only pay when you need it.

With Flip, you don’t need to pay for year-round cover when you only feel at risk of injury on certain days. Cover a race, a trip or a season and enjoy your active lifestyle without breaking the bank.

Simple

Straightforward protection with no confusing jargon.

Insurance is renowned for being hard to understand, but we set out to change that. We explain everything clearly and honestly, so you know exactly what you’re getting and what you’re not. There are no hidden catches. Our simple online process makes it easy to get cover, get claims approved fast and get cash in your pocket right when you need it.

Trustworthy

Backed by HCF Life, which is owned by Australia's largest not-for-profit health insurer, HCF.

We’re on your side and want to support your recovery so you can get back out there and enjoy doing the things you love. Flip may be a young company, but we’re backed by HCF and part of the HCF group, which has been around for over 90 years, so you can have complete confidence that we’ll be there when you need us most.

Ege | Soccer player | Indoor rock climber | Snowboarder
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.

Case study

Charlie vs. the mountain.

Medicare and private health insurance can cover many health-related costs, but you can still be left out of pocket with unforeseen expenses as your recover.

Charlie vs. the mountain

Charlie was snowboarding when they fell and landed painfully on their knee.

Charlie was going to the snow for the week and flipped on a week cover for $25 before they went. 

When Charlie fell and hurt their knee, they went straight to the nearby medical centre, where they were diagnosed with a torn ligament by an MRI. An x-ray was also required to confirm there was no fracture.

Charlie vs. the mountain

The treating doctor determined Charlie’s injury required immediate pain relief and the application of a knee brace.

The doctor also referred Charlie to a specialist, who determined that the severity of the injury required surgery, and booked Charlie in for surgery the following week.

After being discharged from hospital for day surgery, the specialist advised that the injury would require at least 6 physiotherapy sessions to recover.
