General Information
AFDA provides event-based insurance cover for participants taking part in AFDA activities, including activities conducted by:
- AFDA
- AFDA Member Organisations
- Affiliated clubs operating under a Member Organisation
Insurance cover for Member Organisations and affiliated clubs is subject to participants being registered in an AFDA-approved registration system for the relevant activity.
- Ultimate Central is AFDA’s primary national registration system.
- GameDay is an approved registration platform only where AFDA has formally authorised its use (currently Western Australia as a trial state).
Participants who take part in an AFDA-authorised event or activity – whether delivered by AFDA, a Member Organisation, or an affiliated club – without being registered in the applicable AFDA-approved registration system may not be eligible for insurance cover.
Member Affiliates
There are two parts to the insurance cover for Member Affiliates:
- Professional Indemnity
Officers of affiliated associations are also covered by the AFDA’s professional indemnity insurance.
- Field Booking
Most Councils and other field providers require hirers to hold Public Liability insurance in order to book fields. Affiliated associations of the AFDA can use the AFDA Insurance Policy to book fields.
