| What about insurance? |
All fully registered players (i.e. those whose FFA registration forms and full payment of all fees have been forwarded to the FFNT) are covered by an insurance policy for injuries that may occur during official training sessions or sanctioned matches.
The insurance is not a 'gap' insurance and you must first claim through Medicare and any private insurance you have.
Clubs have copies of the insurance and claim forms can be downloaded by clicking the the hotlink on the main page of this website.
All insurance claims must be signed by your Club before being lodged with the FFNT within 28 days of the injury occurring. |
