Will I be covered if I’m injured while participating in sports?

We don't want to tell you what you can and can't do while on vacation - that's for you to decide!

But, it IS important for you to know beforehand whether or not your insurance will cover your hospital bills if you bail while speeding downhill on your mountain bike...

Find your planned activity below - Unless a sport or activity is listed in the Contact Sports, Adventure Sports or Extreme Sports Optional Coverages or in the Exclusions listed in our policy wording, you are automatically covered for sports or activities on your Emergency Medical Insurance plan, whether you are a professional or an amateur.

These optional coverages are not yet available in the Goose app, so please contact a licensed Goose Agent if you'd like to discuss these coverages and purchase a policy with them included.

Add Contact Sports Coverage if:

• Travellers are over 18 and participating in, coaching, training or practicing on behalf of a registered team, league, association club or while competing in  a registered tournament, competition or sporting event:

  • Australian Football • Boxing • Football • Ice Hockey • Lacrosse • Rugby

What about recreational dirt-biking/quadding? Are these motorized x-game sporting activities? 

Unless you are participating in some kind of event where you are showcasing your skills and/or competing in an organized event, you do not need to add the Extreme Sports rider to cover those activities. Recreational dirt biking and quadding does not need to be classified as a Motorized X-Game activity unless it meets the above criteria.

What about out-of-bounds skiing/snowboarding/snowshoeing or snow-biking?
