Why do work experience participants and interns need insurance?

Are you an individual or student looking to undertake work experience or someone trying to get a foot-in-the-door of your desired industry through an internship or on-the-job experience? Or perhaps, you’re an organisation about to accept a work experience placement. 

When undertaking work experience or an internship the organisation’s existing policy often cannot extend to cover the individual. As a result, the individual is commonly required to provide their own insurance, whether they arrange cover themselves or the organisation wishes to arrange it on their behalf.

Cover Benefits of Work Experience and Internships Insurance

This policy provides cover for Accidental Injury or Death only to the individual engaged in work experience, including direct uninterrupted travel to and from such work experience activity. The policy we arrange provides a lump sum benefit of up to $100,000 for Bodily Injuries resulting in Death and other permanent injuries, like paraplegia or quadriplegia, and weekly benefits which equate to your loss of income as a result of such Bodily Injury, to a maximum of $1,000 per week subject to all policy terms and conditions.

2Under Australian Federal Legislation, it's illegal for general insurance companies to cover medical items that would/ should have been covered by Medicare. This means insurers won’t cover Medicare payment gaps, eg. if a GP charges $100 for their service & the medical scheduled fee is $75, the $25 gap is uninsurable. 

*All the benefits listed above are based on a per claim basis. For full details, please review the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and full policy terms and conditions available from Aon on request.
