Medical Information

It is strongly advised that you take out personal medical insurance for the duration of your stay, especially of your stay, especially international competitors. Under the Australian Health Act, non-Australians are not covered financially for personal injury. If you do have an accident you must pay for your own medical expenses. Therefore it is essential for you to obtain adequate personal medical insurance.

We advise Australia residents to notify USM EVENTS of their Medicare number prior to the event which can be updated through your registration personal information page.

The Event Medical Director is offering free pre-race medical assessments on Saturday 2nd November from 12noon - 4pm at the medical tent.
