Dear member
We would like to clarify for you the position on Insurance that arises from your membership of MAWA.
MAWA have public liability cover through our affiliation and $100 fee that we pay as a club to AWA. This filters down to MAWA and includes members, coaches, voluntary workers, officials.
This does not include Personal Accident Insurance, so you are not covered for any cost implications should you have an accident or incur an injury during a MAWA event.
If you wish you may register with AWA for a fee of $20 a year, and this can be done on line from the AWA website, (members who do not have the online capability should see a committee member). Your registration with AWA will give you personal injury insurance in MAWA events and includes competing, training and trialling, official social events and fundraising, travel to and from these activities.
The policy age limits are 2-100 with the following subjectivities:
Capital Benefits
– Death Benefit: Insured Persons 18-65 years of age $100,000
– Insured Persons under 18’s and over 65 years of age $ 20,000
– Paraplegia or Quadriplegia 2-100 years of age $250,000
Non Medicare Medical Expenses
-Insured Persons 2-100 years old
Weekly Accident Benefits
-Insured Persons 2-100 years old
MAWA believes that the benefits are good value for the cost, but a decision on this is entirely up to you. The information above is exactly as we received it from AWA, but if you require more detail on AWA’s personal accident policy, you will need to contact them.
