Join the hundreds of Australians who are using Flip for Snowsports

Hit the slopes with confidence

For first time on the slopes to taking on the black run, Flip can give you extra peace of mind.

While most Snowsports are safe and exciting, accidents can happen.

Don't let an unexpected injury ruin your trip – make sure you've got protection for accidents with Flip ski and snowboard insurance.

Why ski insurance for accidental injuries is becoming more popular in Australia

Aussies love the snow

Every year, Australians spend more than 2 million days skiing. With snow sports being a high risk activity, around 1,500 people are hospitalised each year thanks to skiing, ice skating and snowboarding mishaps.

Skiing injuries can be expensive

All those epic rides can lead to injuries that aren’t necessarily covered by Medicare, private health insurance or travel insurance. The financial pain can hurt more than the injury itself.

Ski insurance eases the financial pain of injuries

Snow sports are great for your physical and mental health, and if you’re on the slopes with Flip activated and get an injury that we cover, we give you a set cash payout within a few days of submitting your claim.

Uncomplicated accidental skiing injury cover

Understanding what you’re covered for can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realise until after something’s gone wrong that you might have a lot of costs to pay. We've created accidental injury cover that's easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.
