Special consideration should be given with regards to players who are not residents of Australia and playing for your club. Although they will be eligible for claims under the Non-Medicare Medical Expense section of the Rugby Australia insurance program, they may not be covered (depending on their individual circumstances) under Medicare, potentially leading to uninsured and/or non recoverable medical expenses.

Overseas players not entitled to Medicare should consider appropriate travel insurance before travelling to Australia or take-out private health insurance whilst in Australia tailored for non-residents. Some of the Private Health Funds offer cover for overseas residents, information can be found on their websites.
