Personal Accident Insurance
Insurance: Your Safety Net On and Off the Lanes
Accidents can happen unexpectedly, and we want to ensure you’re protected when they do. As a TBA registered member, you’re covered with Personal Accident Insurance. But what does this mean for you, especially in the context of bowling centres?
Personal Accident Insurance vs Centre Liability Insurance:
Personal Accident Insurance (PAI): This is your insurance as a bowler. If you face an unfortunate incident while participating in a bowling event or league, PAI steps in to help cover medical expenses, loss of income, and other related costs you might incur due to the accident.
Centre Liability Insurance: This insurance is for the bowling centre itself. It protects the centre against claims made by bowlers or guests in case of injuries or damages caused due to the centre’s negligence or oversight.
In essence, while Centre Liability Insurance safeguards the centre, Personal Accident Insurance safeguards you. So, while the centre’s insurance covers its own responsibilities, your TBA registration offers a layer of individual protection designed specifically for your well-being on the lanes.
These activities include all TBA-accredited events, playing, training, official social events and fundraising activities, as well as travel to and from these activities in TBA-registered centres in Australia.
Personal Accident Insurance covers non-Medicare covered expenses, the most common being private hospital bed & theatre fees, dental, ambulance, chiropractic, physiotherapy and osteopathy-related expenses.
The non-Medicare coverage is part of government legislation that prevents general insurers from covering Medicare-related costs, including the Medicare Gap, so only NON-MEDICARE items are claimable. *Terms & conditions apply, all claims subject to claim assessment & approval of the insurer.
