Insurance

All enrolled students and staff of Monash University are members of a personal accident insurance scheme: the current policy expires on 1 June 1997 at which time details of the new policy will be available. The policy provides benefits for financial loss that results from medical treatment and hardship due to an accident that occurs whilst engaged in university or course-related activities.

Members are required first to pay all costs, then claim reimbursement under the policy.

The financial gap between the doctor's bill and the Medicare refund is not claimable.

Specific conditions apply to reimbursement of claims.

All injuries likely to result in a claim must be notified to the relevant campus office as soon as practicable after the accident. Failure to notify an accident within thirty days may result in the rejection of the claim. Medical expenses must be incurred within twelve months of the date of the injury: claims for monies paid after twelve months will not be reimbursed.
