Regional Insurance Brokers is proud to be in partnership with Croquet Australia as its official corporate Insurance Broker.

Regional Insurance Brokers has been working in close partnership with the sports and leisure industry in Australia for many years. This experience has led to the development of insurance and risk protection programmes that identify and address the total risk exposures of the sports industry. Regional Insurance Brokers also recognises the importance of working alongside our clients to improve all aspects of their physical, legal and financial safety.

Croquet Australia has chosen the following covers with Regional Insurance Brokers:

  • Accidental Death & Disablement cover up to $50,000
  • Legal liability up to $20 million
  • Professional indemnity up to $1 million
  • Medical cover 80% (Physio 95% - subject to Policy Wording) up to $2,500
  • Loss of income benefits up to $210 per week for up to 52 weeks

As per the Health Insurance Act, Medicare Items are not covered by this policy. Croquet Australia's policy then covers such expenses as private hospital accommodation, ambulance, physiotherapy and dental fees up to a combined $2,500 in total for each medical claim.

The level of cover under the program is not 'comprehensive' and, as such, we encourage all participants to review their own individual needs. Where appropriate, we advise participants to take out private health, life and income protection insurance. It is an individual's responsibility to ensure that he/she has adequate insurance cover for his/her needs.

Please refer to the capital benefits detail schedule below.
