  5 hours per year
  
  
• How is the levy applied ?

Volunteering Levy FAQ

The National Hockey Insurance Program is an initiative between Hockey Australia, all of the State & Territory Hockey Associations and Honan from 2020.

Hockey Australia (HA) collects Levy and all insurance related fees directly through the HA fees on the registration portal. All registered hockey players 9 years of age and above, pay a component of the HA total fee towards insurance. This will encompass the Personal Accident, Public Liability and Club Management Insurance.

For further details, please review the Hockey Victoria (HV) National Insurance Program page.
