FFA Sports Injury Insurance Claims

Note: not applicable for Over 35s - see below.

The FFA National Insurance Programme website is provided so that Players, Coaches, Volunteers and Club Officials throughout Australia may have immediate access to the policy benefits and procedures of the insurance program.

The program is provided by Gow-Gates.

FFA, State and Territory Member Federations and Gow-Gates remain committed to providing the football community with a first class Sports Insurance Programme whilst maintaining the affordability of registration.

Whilst the plan provides basic levels of cover for players and others participating in Football, it is not all encompassing (this is necessary to keep the cost of insurance affordable for players) and does not seek to replace the need for private health and other insurances.

FFA encourages all players and officials to take out their own private health insurance, life insurance and ‘Top Up’ coverage over and above the coverage provided under this plan. Gow-Gates can assist in regard to ‘Top Up’ insurance and other insurance requirements.

Further information about coverage and the Claims process is available at:

Insurance process for Over 35s, 45s and 30s (Women)

The Over 35s is a separate competition and has its own insurance coverage. If you are injured while playing in an O35 / O45 or O30 (Women) game then please access and follow this process.
