Insurance
The Water Polo Australia Risk Protection Program has been specially designed to meet the needs of Water Polo in Australia – Associations, Clubs and individual members
WHAT IS COVERED
The following insurance policies have been designed to protect Water Polo Australia members when involved in activities that have been sanctioned by the relevant Water Polo State or Territory Association.
- Public Liability
- Personal Accident
- Professional Indemnity
Activities covered include competition, training, social functions, committee meetings, and fundraising, as well as travel to and from these activities.

The Water Polo Australia Insurance Program provides a “standard level” of cover for all members and has not taken into account an individual’s financial needs or circumstances.
