INSURANCE

Athletes may be covered by New Zealand’s public insurance company – Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) – for treatment for injuries sustained while in New Zealand. This is subject to the decision made by ACC alone.

Details at http://www.acc.co.nz

ACC does not cover treatment if an injured person leaves New Zealand and therefore is not a replacement for an individual’s travel insurance.

It is requirement that all international athletes have adequate medical / health insurance to cover and pay for any medical or other costs that may directly or indirectly result from my participation in Crankworx Rotorua. This includes but is not limited to, insurance for bodily injury (in and out-patient hospital expenses and medical care, transport costs, permanent disablement, death) and material damages (loss of earnings) in case of accident on the occasion of a cycling competition or during training, and third-party liability insurance for material damage or bodily injury caused to others in the course of a competition or cycling event or during training. Athletes must also understand that the Crankworx event organizers are not providing insurance coverage for each individual and by participating each athlete is willing to take full financial responsibility for any and all medical costs incurred as a result of their participation in this event.
