Player Insurance

Sportscover has again been appointed by HV as the official insurer and continue as a key sponsor of Victorian hockey. Worldwide Sports Insurance also continue as our Broker.


All Affiliates are now required to access a new ON-LINE ELECTRONIC system to purchase and manage their insurance requirements.

The new electronic on-line system will allow all affiliates to register their teams for insurance, upgrade club, team and player cover, view current levels of cover, request and print Certificates of Currency, and register claims.

Clubs seeking higher benefits (for teams and/or individual members) will be able to secure additional cover. The on-line system is able to provide quotes on the additional cost and accept payment for the additional "top up" cover online.

After an affiliate has finalised their purchases, the system will be available for individual members of that affiliate to increase their policy benefits by purchasing extra cover online.

Hockey Victoria in conjunction with Worldwide Sports Insurance Brokers, and Sportscover Australia (the Insurer), are pleased to provide further information on accessing the Online Electronic System in the pdf document attached below.
