Sports Injury/Personal Accident Insurance

It provides benefits for death, permanent disability and loss of income as well as cover for non-Medicare medical expenses and other costs associated with the injury sustained whilst playing or coaching or being otherwise involved in an approved tennis related activity.
Combined Liability (Public & Products Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance)
This type of policy can help protect your club or other insured entity against the financial risk of being found liable to a third party for death or injury, loss of or damage to property or ‘pure’ economic loss (i.e. financial loss) resulting from the negligence of your club (or insured entity).
Management Liability Insurance
This covers a range of financial risks for your directors and officers which arise out of the management of your club/association/organisation and can cover some of the costs associated with employee issues (i.e. stealing funds from the club).
