You can use your cash however you like.

Here’s a list of some of the things people generally spend their money on when they get injured:

  • casting material, moon boots, braces, slings, splints or crutches
  • specialist gaps from the physio, dentist or surgeon
  • anaesthetist fees
  • ambulance fees
  • transportation if you can’t drive like Ubers and taxis
  • assistance while injured like getting a baby sitter, dog sitter or food delivery

My Flip accidental injury insurance wasn’t turned on at the time of my accident. Can I claim?

arrow down

No. With Flip accidental injury insurance, you’re covered for a range of accidental injuries that happen while your insurance is active.

This means you’re not covered for anything that happens before your insurance starts or after it ends.

To see when your insurance starts or ends, head to your Flip Dashboard and look for your Certificate of Insurance.

How do you know when I had my injury?

arrow down

When you submit your claim, you’ll need to provide proof of your accident and injuries, including where and when they happened.

I have an illness or health condition. Can I claim?

arrow down

Flip accidental injury insurance covers injuries caused by accidents. Illnesses, health conditions, or injuries not caused by accidents aren’t covered.

When will I get my claims payout?

arrow down

Once your claim is approved, we’ll organise the cash straight away. Whilst we hope the money gets to you ASAP, this can depend on your bank and business hours.

We’ll never take more than 5 business days to send your cash once your claim is approved.

I’m making a claim on behalf of a Flip customer who is badly injured and can’t make the claim themselves. Where do I start?

arrow down

We're so sorry to hear that. Please contact our helpful team so we can kick-start the process for you.

Who’s considered as a Health Professional?

arrow down

A Health Professional is a registered medical practitioner or dentist in Australia or New Zealand, relevant to your injury. Examples of registered medical practitioners include general practitioners, surgeons or registered nurses. Physiotherapists are not registered medical practitioners.

What are the maximum claim limits?

arrow down

Once we’ve paid you $50,000 in cash payouts for Flip Active or Kids, or $70,000 for Flip Roaming, your insurance will end and you won’t be able to buy further cover under Flip’s insurance product range.

Flip were incredibly easy to work with and the process of putting in a claim is super simple. It is so easy to switch on your cover even if you think you don't need it. I highly recommend anyone who is active like me, who loves extreme sports, to get cover with Flip.

I received great service from Flip, the communication was clear and professional and they helped me out when I needed it. The coverage is great, it covers all it needs to!

Flip is simple and I can choose exactly when I want cover. Signing up literally took less than two minutes. Being able to cancel when I don’t need it and get cover again when I do is perfect for my lifestyle.

I’m always skeptical of insurance products and it being too good to be true, so need to find the catch. Not this time Flip’s the real deal.

Between all of my sports, I probably get injured more than most. I feel super protected with Flip because it helps with out of pockets gaps, and random expenses. I wouldn’t be without it for the peace of mind.
