CommInsure Mining Insurance

CommInsure's unique offering means that cover is available for jobs listed on their mining occupation list.

It means that more Australian miners have the opportunity to get personal insurance cover.

• Continuous/longwall operator
• Gig rise miner
• Jumbo/longhole drill operator
• Scraper operator
• Shot firer
• Surface worker, explosives
• Underground explosives handler
• Underground faceworker, no explosives

Here are some of the key features of CommInsure's mining insurance offering:

• Occupation-based cover
• Variables like mine type and hardness of rock are not taken into consideration
• Cover for occupations that involve explosives and the handling of them
• For income protection insurance, subcontractors are considered self employed
• Flying in and out of mine sites will not effect terms or eligibility
