Insurance coverage for Postgraduate Research Students

HDR students are covered by the same insurance that is provided to all postgraduate coursework and undergraduate students, that is the AIG Student Personal Accident Insurance Policy. This coverage is administered by Monash Sport and a summary is available at http://www.firm.monash.edu.au/insurance/studentpersonalaccident/informationsheetstudentpa.pdf

All postgraduate students on approved domestic or international travel are covered by the Monash Business Travel Policy. Full details of this policy are at http://www.firm.monash.edu.au/insurance/businesstravel/2007-2008travelwording.pdf.
