Dear Club Member
Football is an exciting game however as it involves physical contact, there is an
element of risk involved every time you step out to play.
We want to support our members by providing you with as much information as
possible about your level of coverage for when you step out onto the Football Field
each weekend. Below is a complete rundown of the coverage you receive through
your club membership and options on how you can upgrade your coverage to suit
your own personal situation.
Current Standard Coverage:
Every player who is a paid up member of our Football/Netball club has an automatic
SILVER level of coverage through JLT Sports. Our Committee agreed at the club’s
2014 Annual General Meeting to upgrade to the GOLD level of coverage.
CLICK HERE to download a flyer that provides you with a complete rundown of your
GOLD level coverage and what you are entitled to should you injure yourself whilst
playing or training with our club.
Any club/league/association can choose to upgrade one or all components of the
Personal Injury cover. Most upgrade options are available on a per team basis with
the exception of Loss of Income cover, which can be purchased by individual
members. Contact JLT Sports about how you can upgrade your personal coverage
today on 1300 130 373.

Processing a Claim:
If you injure yourself whilst playing or training with our club, it is up to the individual
to process a claim through JLT Sports. We as a club will assist you as much as we
can however as the claim process requires a lot of personal information to be
provided throughout the claim process, we do ask that individuals take ownership
and control over any claims you process.

Ambulance Coverage:
Ambulance coverage is included as part of the GOLD level of coverage through JLT
Sports however this only covers you whilst you are participating with our club.
Members are encouraged to still take out your own Ambulance coverage so that you
are fully covered that includes your time spent away from our club.
Private Health Insurance:
It is highly recommended that all club members secure your own personal health
insurance to assist with any out of pocket costs that may come with an injury. As a
club, we can’t afford to cover all of the medical costs of our players and we
recommend that all players secure a Health Insurance Plan that suits your needs and
life style so that you do not feel the out of pocket effects that an injury may bring.
FIT Health Insurance is specifically tailored to the injuries sustained in AFL football.

Out of Pocket Costs:
As mentioned above, Football/Netball clubs are unfortunately not in a position to
cover the out of pocket costs for club members which is why we encourage our
members to take out as much personal coverage (either by upgrading your JLT
Sports coverage or taking out private health insurance) as you can afford to ensure
these costs are kept to a minimum. We will try to provide all members with as much
guidance and support that we can however we are not in a position to be able to
financially support our members by covering the costs of injuries. Please keep this in
mind if you, your son or daughter injure yourselves this season.
For any other information on your coverage through JLT Sports this season, please
feel free to go to https://afl.jltsport.com.au/community.aspx and hopefully your
questions will be answered.
