Journey Insurance for 2015/16

posted 05 May 2015 | Staff Announcement - (staff)

Did you know that if you're injured while travelling from your residence on your normal journey to work, or on the return journey from work to your residence, you are not covered for benefits under the Workers' Compensation and Injury Management Act?

As a result of this reduced protection under the Act, Murdoch University has obtained an insurance policy underwritten by Accident and Health International providing this protection which is available to all employees. The total cost for 12 months cover is $23* payable by a once only deduction from your salary.

*$23 is based on a premium of $19.00 plus GST and Stamp Duty.

Please note that cover is for the set period 31 May 2015 to the 31 May 2016. Joining half way through this period is still $23 and the expiry date remains the 31 May 2016.

For further information regarding the policy or to access the application form, please refer to the following web links:
