Insurance can be difficult to understand. There are many rules and exceptions. For this reason, on these pages we have tried to help you as much as possible and have gathered the most important rules. We recommend that you check your coverage, especially prior to field work or travel abroad.
As a rule, AU provides travel insurance when you travel abroad (incl. Greenland and the Faroe Islands), and provides statutory workers’ compensation coverage (which covers during work hours, regardless of your location) statutory insurance on vehicles.
As an AU employee, you are covered better and in more cases than students/guests. Check out the rules in more detail on the following pages.
