INSURANCE PARTNER

Did you know most triathletes are either not insured or under-insured for crashes on the bike when racing, training or commuting, despite thinking otherwise? Most Super Funds and Personal Insurance companies won’t take the risk of insuring participants that use a bike in races or anything that may even resemble them. When you need it most, don’t find yourself under-insured or not insured at all. KOM Financial Advice was formed to address the unique Income Protection (IP) and Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) issues cyclists and triathletes face. We’re here to help!

We hope you are getting excited for the Sprint Distance Qualifier at the Husky Ultimate Triathlon Festival, and the Standard Distance Qualifier at the Tri the Gong Triathlon Festival and triCanberra! This event holds valuable qualification points for the 2018 Age Group World Championships! You can race for points towards selection onto TEAM AUSTRALIA at the GOLD COAST for the WORLD TRIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS!
