Information from the broker, Arthur J Gallagher (AJG), about these insurances, can be at Australian Veteran Cycling Council , select "Insurance" on the menu
Bike Insurance
Also see the link to Velosure bicycle under insurance at Australian Veteran Cycling Council for the information of members, who can choose “Premium” cover or “Basic” cover and pay the appropriate premium. Unlike the personal insurance cover, this is not insurance arranged by AVCC and paid from members’ membership fees.
Personal Insurance claims
It is a condition of the policy that any personal injury claim must be lodged within 30 days of an accident. For any other sort of claim, it is a requirement to notify AJG immediately.

Recommendation
While insurance should be seen as a risk management measure of last resort, the club emphasises the importance to each of its members of assessing his/her own insurance position in connection with all cycling-related activities that they may undertake, eg. as a rider, a race official, or a first aid officer. Unless you have substantive experience and expertise in insurance matters, you should not try to do this on your own - seek specialist advice on your whole insurance position, including the scope of insurance provided to financial club members through the AVCC, which may not necessarily cover all of the risks to which the member might be exposed
