Referee Injury Insurance
Rugby Australia has arranged the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme on behalf of our Member Unions, their Affiliate Unions, Clubs and Referee Associations.
All Clubs affiliated with Rugby Australia and/or the various Member Unions are automatically covered under the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme annually. All participants (Players, Coaches, Officials) must be registered with Rugby Australia in order to obtain coverage under the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme.
Participation in the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme is compulsory for all Clubs competing in competitions managed by Rugby Australia and/or Member Unions, and a National Participant Insurance Levy is payable by participants upon registration.
Whilst the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme provides basic levels of cover for players and others participating in Rugby, it is not all encompassing (this is necessary to keep the cost of insurance affordable for all players) and does not seek to replace the need for other insurances. Rugby Australia encourages all players and officials to take out their own private health insurance, life insurance and ‘Top Up’ coverage over and above the coverage provided under the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme.
