Football NSW Limited Insurance Program

PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE

The Personal Accident insurance aligns this year with the national insurance program, providing cover for capital benefits, non-Medicare medical expenses, loss of income and other policy benefits, and ensures the sustainability of the program.

 

Personal accident claims are lodged via the online claims portal.  As part of the claim process, the participant downloads a Club Declaration form which the club then signs and returns to the participant to be uploaded into the claims portal.  

Claim information – visit the FNSW Insurance website.

More details can be found on the Gow Gates website: Football NSW – Insurance Program
