SAFEGUARDING & PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
Woodville Rugby Club believe the safeguarding & protection of all children - players, supporters, visitors or members is of the utmost importance. From that end, we are committed to ensuring our coaches, committee, and volunteers who deal with children have all the relevant checks and training required to keep our kids safe.
​
We will comply with the Child Safeguarding policy as issued by Rugby Australia & found here: Child Safeguarding Policy | Rugby Australia.

INSURANCE FOR INJURIES
Rugby Australia has arranged the National Risk Management and Insurance Programme on behalf of our Member Unions, their Affiliate Unions, Clubs and Referee Associations. Information about Insurance can be found here:
Rugby Australia does not hold an Australian Financial Services licence so it relies on the exemption in the ASIC Corporations (Group Purchasing Bodies) Instrument 2018/751 to offer the Programme.
​
All Clubs affiliated with Rugby Australia and/or the various Member Unions are automatically covered under the Programme annually. All participants (Players, Coaches, Officials etc) must be registered with Rugby Australia in order to obtain coverage under the Programme. If any entity covered by the Programme would like to receive a copy of the terms and conditions of the insurances included in the Programme, they can contact the Gallagher Sports team (sport@ajg.com.au) who will provide this information free of charge within a reasonable time of the request.
Participation in the Programme is compulsory for all Clubs competing in competitions managed by Rugby Australia and/or Member Unions, and a National Contribution to the Programme is payable by all Players upon registration.

Player Contributions to the Programme
Whilst the Programme provides basic levels of cover for players and other participating in Rugby, it is not all encompassing (this is necessary to keep the cost of protection affordable for all players) and it does not seek to replace the need for other insurances. Rugby Australia does not provide any financial product advice in relation to the insurances in the Programme. Relevant Organisations and individuals covered by the Programme should consider obtaining their own advice to determine whether it is suitable for them and whether they need to take out their own private health insurance, life insurance and/or 'Top-Up' insurance, over and above the coverage provided under the Programme.
​
Additionally, groups of persons (referred to as ‘Entity Team’) who wish to play and train but not necessarily form, or be part of, a Club, regular Competition or Special Event, may obtain insurance provided that they meet certain requirements.
​
Submitting a Claim
If you wish to make a claim or notify an incident for General Liability, Professional Indemnity or Management Liability, please contact Gallagher AU or Club Secretary.
