Journey Accident Cover

Your PSA membership covers you if you have an accident going to or from work.

Accidents happen. And Workers’ Compensation does not cover employees injured while travelling to and from work.  

PSA members are covered for Journey Accidents travelling to and from work, including:

• Dropping off or picking up your children from day care or school
  
  
• Coffee, lunch breaks and other authorised breaks
  
  
• Participating in rehabilitation or training courses

Injured members can receive weekly payments of up to $1200, plus disability and death coverage up to $100,000.
