Following any injury on game day or at club training, an injury report must be filed via Rugby AU. If you are unsure how to complete this process, contact your applicable team manager.
Rugby AU provides insurance to all players, which covers treatment not otherwise provided by Medicare, eg. Ambulance. Depending on your hospital/medical provider preference, medical history and/or capacity to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses, it may be beneficial to engage in private health insurance during the season.
