Whole School

Student Accident Insurance

Each year, the College renews a Student Accident Insurance policy to cover any injuries to students while they are engaged in school related activities. This policy is negotiated by our insurance broker, Willis Australia Limited, and the current policy is placed with Catholic Church Insurance (CCI).

If your child suffers a significant injury that requires medical/hospital treatment, claim forms can now be downloaded direct from the parent portal on Sentral.

Also on Sentral is a claims procedure document as well as the policy wording including benefits payable (the College has the higher Standard Cover not Basic Cover). The completed claim form and any relevant attachments should be returned to the College as the school must verify that the accident occurred during a school related activity before sending the claim to Willis for processing.

Please note that the policy will not cover the cost of any medical service for which a Medicare benefit is payable. This is prohibited under Federal health legislation.  Parents may also wish to review the benefits that are payable and make a decision if additional private insurance coverage is warranted.  For example, dental treatment can be very expensive and the benefits for loss or damage to teeth may not cover expenses incurred.

I stress that parents are encouraged to carefully read the policy and the details about what is, and is not covered. The College cannot advise you about matters to do with your own medical insurance.  

The College also pays a subscription each year to Ambulance Service NSW which will cover the cost of any ambulance transport to a hospital.  If you are invoiced for such a service, please forward the unpaid invoice to the College’s Finance Department.
