This Policy is only
available to SMA Accredited Sports Trainers practicing in Australia
and New Zealand.
The Policy operates while an insured person is engaging in officially sanctioned activities involving :
- playing in club, representative, state or national matches
- training routines arranged by the club, league, association or federation
- travelling directly to or from the above activities and residence or place of employment or club premise
- staying away from home during a tour for the purpose of participating in representative matches
- an administrative capacity or organised social and fundraising activities
It is important to take out this policy. SMA has written to National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) to discover whether Sports Trainers are covered by their NSO indemnity insurance policies. Many NSOs have written back saying Trainers are not covered, or not always covered. These include Softball Australia, Skate Australia and Baseball Australia. Others like Tennis and the National Rugby League have requested Trainers have their own insurance cover.
Membership gives you 12months insurance cover and is current from date of payment received at SMA National Office.

^These prices are correct until July 2008. Prices subject to change after this date.
