Sporting travel can look different for every person. You may be travelling for a school, club or college fixture or competition, or a family trip that includes sport.
Marsh has partnered with Go Insurance to offer a fast online travel insurance cover* for non-professional sport participants and their families.
*Cover is subject to eligibility, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement
This travel insurance pathway may suit eligible Marsh Sport clients, including athletes, sport participants and families travelling for sport.
For non-professional participation, many listed sport and leisure activities may be automatically covered when participation is amateur or recreational, including school, club or college fixtures or competitions.
Professional athletes and some representative athletes should use the professional athlete pathway. The insurer will review the sport and travel details before confirming whether cover can be offered.
Travellers must meet the eligibility rules in the PDS. These include rules for Australian residents, some non-permanent residents of Australia and some travellers already overseas.
In many cases, travellers must be aged 75 years or under at the time of travel. The insurer may agree to insure travellers aged over 75 before the policy is issued, subject to its assessment.
Dependent children may be included when they meet the PDS requirements and are named on the Certificate of Insurance.
The Marsh Sport travel insurance pathway gives eligible sporting travellers a way to seek cover, with options to shape cover around their trip.
Many listed sports and leisure activities may be automatically covered for non-professional participation, subject to the PDS. Examples include athletics, basketball, cricket, cycling, golf, netball, running, soccer, surfing, swimming, tennis, volleyball and water polo.
Some activities have conditions. For example, some activities require a licensed commercial operator or a selected optional cover.
Professional athletes are not automatically covered through the standard participation pathway. They should submit their sport and travel details through the professional athlete pathway.
Go Insurance will review the information and confirm whether cover can be offered.
Non-professional sport participants and general travellers can use the online Go Insurance pathway to enter their details, get a quote and purchase cover.
Professional athletes use a separate web form. Go Insurance will review the details and email the quote pathway if cover can be offered.
Some pre-existing medical conditions may be automatically covered if the PDS criteria are met. Other conditions must be declared and assessed.
Claims are lodged directly with Go Insurance. Go Insurance also handles emergency assistance.
For claims, emergencies or policy questions, travellers should contact Go Insurance using the details provided in their policy documents.
Eligible families may be able to use the pathway. The PDS includes rules for dependent children, including age, dependency and naming requirements on the Certificate of Insurance.
Families should check the PDS to confirm who can be covered and how the policy applies to their trip.
