Football Queensland Player Insurance Update

Football Queensland has changed insurer for the 2012 season. They have now joined the FFA NAtional Insurance Programme underwritten by Gow-Gates. The following is an extract from the home page. Further details are availabe at http://www.gowgatessport.com.au/football/

The FFA National Insurance Programme website is provided so that Players & Club Administrators throughout Australia may have immediate access to the policy benefits and procedures of the insurance programme.

FFA, Gow-Gates and Sportscover remain committed to providing the football community with a first class Sports Insurance Programme whilst maintaining the affordability of registration.

Whilst the plan provides basic levels of cover for players and others participating in Football, it is not all encompassing (this is necessary to keep the cost of insurance affordable for players) and does not seek to replace the need for private health and other insurances.

FFA 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 this plan. Gow-Gates can assist in regard to ‘Top Up’ insurance and other insurance requirements.

All the best for a safe and enjoyable season!

Regards,
The Gow-Gates Sports Insurance team
