Advice from QRU on some insurance matters that may be of use to some. This relates most directly to our clubs set up but it may be replicated in other clubs or competitions. I find some of the barriers to u19 and women's a bit disconcerting - there appears to be no recognition in the insurance scheme for modified games as was previously the case.
1. Under 19s – Are players in the U19s Competition included under the senior fee or are players turning 18 in 2015 considered juniors, with players turning 19 in 2015 seniors? ($97.50 difference)
Under 19 Competitions are classified as Seniors – players playing in an U19 competition will pay the Senior Fees.
2. Womens Rugby – Are Womens players all considered seniors under the new insurance scheme?
Yes Women are considered Seniors.
3. Under 8’s – Should players turning 7 in 2015, but playing in an Under 8s comp be liable to be charged as Under 8’s or Under 7’s? ($24.50 difference)
Players playing in an U8 competition are charged the Junior (U8-U18) fees.
4. Insurance – does the new individual Insurance Levy cover players for all rugby activities in Australia – ie Are players insured for sevens carnivals, trial matches, etc without having an additional insurance payment imposed?
Insurance covers individuals for all activities with their club. Greg Denny - ARU (
greg.denny@rugby.com.au) is the best contact to discuss any further questions on the ARU Insurance Scheme.
