Insurance
The Compulsory Insurance the Club Offers through the QRL includes Death and Permanent Disability (Max - $150,000), Funeral Expenses ($2000).
The Club also provides compulsory Physio and Medical Gap and loss of income Insurance for $40 per season. This insurance will provide players with Physio and/or Medical Gap and/or loss of Income Insurance up to $250 per year per player. Loss of income can only be claimed where a player looses wages for a period of more than 2 weeks. Players will be required to pay $50 before playing to be covered for this insurance. Players who are not finanacial will receive no benefits.
As you can see the Insurance offered is very limited. The Club recommends you discuss loss of Income insurance with a broker of your choice. The Club will endeavor to assist injured players but we are limited in what assistance we can provide.
Fund Raising
It takes quite a lot of resources to run a Rugby League Club. The Club provides free strapping, post match drinks, match payments, Coaches Fees, trophies and much more. The Club funds these through fund raising. Players, Coaches and Officials are required to support the Club in our Fund Raising by attending our Club Raffles. Other Fund Raising through out the year is essential for the professional operation of Fitzroy Gracemere RLFC and the Club expects all members to be involved.
