We are a Good Sports club
Sporting clubs such as ours play a significant role in the community and have a responsibility to our members and their families.
We have chosen to join over 9000 clubs across Australia taking part in the Good Sports program. Through Good Sports we are committed to managing alcohol responsibly and ensuring smoke free areas, which we believe will help us to provide a healthy, safe and family friendly environment.

Injuries, Insurance Claims & what to do
With the season now underway we will unfortunately (but hopefully not) see some serious injuries. It is often confusing about what we can do as a Club and how AFL Canberra supports us through this. If the injury sustained is significant you may wish to look into an Insurance claim. Marsh Insurance is the insurance company that covers the AFL & can provide this advice.
The combined Product Disclosure Statement and Scheme Rules (PDS) for the Personal Accident Discretionary Trust Arrangement issued by JLT Group Services Pty Ltd for the Fund Period 1 November 2024-
1 November 2025 can be found here and here.

If an injury occurs to one of the clubs players or volunteers, you should do the following:

-
Complete the Claim Form and submit it to Echelon Australia within 180 days from the date of injury (sooner rather than later).

Do not wait for treatment to cease before making a claim
