Our Insurance Has You Covered
As a Pedal Power ACT member, you’re protected with our bike riding insurance, designed to support you if you’re injured while riding or taking part in an approved Pedal Power ACT activity.
We’ll help cover non-Medicare medical expenses if you’re injured while riding or taking part in a Pedal Power ACT activity, including physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment and hospital care, and all claims require supporting documentation.
If you’re injured while cycling and unable to work, you may be eligible to receive up to 85% of your weekly income for up to 52 weeks, subject to policy conditions and a short waiting period.
If you accidentally cause injury to someone else or damage their property while riding, you’re covered for up to $5 million. You’ll only need to pay the first $1,000, and the policy takes care of the rest.
