Stepping into a high-performance vehicle on a race circuit, strapping into a side-by-side (SXS), or tackling a highly technical 4WD mountain trail is an incredible rush—but the physical and financial risks are undeniable. A single mechanical failure or split-second misjudgment can lead to significant vehicle damage, severe personal injury, or extensive hospital stays.
What many automotive enthusiasts, club racers, and recreational off-roaders don’t realize until it's far too late is that standard Australian private health insurance, income protection, and life insurance policies almost universally exclude injuries sustained during organized motorsport or off-road events.
If you are injured on the track or the trail, you are frequently left completely on your own to cover specialized medical gaps, extensive rehabilitation costs, and the devastating loss of weekly income while you recover.
We are here to bridge the medical gap and secure your family’s financial stability.
We didn't build a bureaucratic club network. We built the MAA Personal Accident Program to serve as a vital, direct financial safety net for drivers, navigators, and event officials. Our goal is singular: to ensure that if the worst happens on the track or trail, your income is protected, your out-of-pocket medical expenses are covered, and your family is shielded from financial distress.
The MAA Advantage: Elite APRA-Regulated Personal Accident Cover
An affordable membership to the MAA unlocks the gate to our Group Insurance Programs (GIPs). By leveraging the massive collective scale of drivers and off-roaders nationwide, we bypass the heavy retail insurance markups and present a clean, highly structured risk profile to A-rated, Australian-regulated underwriters.

Non-Medicare Medical Expenses: Cover the extensive out-of-pocket costs that private health insurance rejects, including specialized physiotherapy, chiropractic care, dental work, and post-trauma rehabilitation.
