Important Information Regarding Injury and COVID 19 Management

All staff running the National Junior Travel Program have first aid training and all events included in the program are serviced by professional medical support. In rare instances athletes may sustain an injury or illness that prevents them from travelling home within the advertised program time-frame. This may include, but is not limited to, being admitted to hospital, injuries that prevent an athlete from flying, and/or developing symptoms or testing positive to COVID. While AusCycling will take all reasonable steps to facilitate the athletes return home, where the athlete is unable to travel home through the normal program logistics the athlete becomes the responsibility of the parent or guardian. AusCycling strongly recommends the use of travel insurance to facilitate the cancellation or re-booking of flights.
