Free Accident Insurance for Members

If you’re injured outside of work, the SDA has you covered.

As part of their SDA membership, members are covered by the SDA’s Accident Insurance – at no extra cost to you.

If you injure yourself or have an accident outside of work, the SDA covers you for claims of up to $112,000.

An insurance policy similar to this would usually cost $800, but it’s all included in your SDA membership.

If you suffer an injury, contact us on 8139 1000 for advice on how to make a claim. Claims should be submitted within 30 days of the accident.

We’ve got you covered for workplace assault

If you suffer an unprovoked workplace assault, you may be eligible for a $1000 Workplace Assault Benefit payment if you require medical treatment; and it is reported to the police and a police report is provided
