In addition to the insurances offered as part of the NRPP, GA is pleased to offer access to Gymnastics Australia's Travel Insurance for affiliated clubs for endorsed travel. For affiliated clubs, schools and corporate groups, this cover is offered on a user pays basis on a per-day rate based on Gymnastics Australia’s overall travel insurance policy pricing.

Whilst Gymnastics Australia's current Programme covers members for Personal Accident Insurance in Australia, access to Travel Insurance will provide cover for a range of risks that may otherwise be limited when competing in international events. Three of these are listed below:
-
Medical Expenses;
-
Luggage and Personal Effects; and
-
Missed Transport Connections
One of the most significant benefits associated with Gymnastics Australia’s Travel Insurance Policy is that it covers 'Participation' in gymnastics. Many other travel policies strictly exclude sports participation; therefore, if you were injured whilst participating in a gymnastics event overseas, you may be unable to claim on your travel insurance. With participation included, the Gymnastics Australia Travel Policy is better suited to a gymnastics tour. This is a substantial and unique benefit for affiliated clubs who have previously struggled to find appropriate and comparable insurance when travelling.
Process
It is important that clubs understand the process for placement of Travel Insurance as it is outlined as follows:
-
Download the Tour Endorsement and Travel Insurance Application Form* (as below);
-
Complete all relevant details as requested
-
Submit the Form to Gymnastics Australia (decision of endorsement may take up to two (2) weeks);
Upon endorsement:
-
GA will provide a quote directly to the individual/club/State Association Member for Travel Insurance;
-
Club confirms quote and placement of cover and pays premium prior to travel
* All Applications for Travel Insurance must first be endorsed by Gymnastics Australia. All Clubs/State applicants should also note Gymnastics Australia's Club-Program Tour Guidelines, as provided below.
Please note: Before entering into an insurance contract with a general insurer, please ensure you are aware of the policy wordings, terms and conditions.
