HITIQ Limited (ASX: HIQ) ("HITIQ" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a category- exclusive partnership with Sportscover to integrate PROTEQT™, HITIQ’s concussion management system into Sportscover’s Sports Insurance offering. Under the agreement, Sportscover will be designated HITIQ’s Preferred Insurance Partner – Sports Insurance. The partnership introduces a first-of-its-kind claims-triggered cover feature: when a concussion claim is lodged and confirmed under a Sportscover policy, Sportscover will fund a PROTEQT™ unit for the insured member. HITIQ will fulfil the product directly to claimants via a dedicated Sportscover landing page, enabling seamless access. The collaboration will commence with Hockey Australia channels and is intended to extend across Sportscover’s broader sports insurance portfolio over time. The parties will also undertake a Year-1 data collaboration using de-identified, aggregated impact data (by sport, age and gender) to enhance underwriting insight and player-safety initiatives. Management believes the partnership positions Sportscover as the only Sports Insurance provider actively supporting community clubs with professional-grade concussion management and strengthens HITIQ’s consumer go-to-market through established insurance distribution. The model is designed to improve the concussion claims journey, encourage safer return-to-play pathways and provide athletes with meaningful support at the moment they need it most. Leadership Commentary Earl Eddings, Executive Chair, HITIQ, said: "Embedding PROTEQT™ within Sportscover’s Sports Insurance offering is a pivotal step in community player welfare. This partnership delivers insurer-funded support at the point of need, commencing with Hockey Australia channels and scaling across Sportscover’s portfolio. It represents a meaningful differentiator for Sportscover and a scalable pathway for HITIQ to reach grassroots sport." Chris Nash, Managing Director, Sportscover, said “By integrating PROTEQT™ into Sportscover’s Sports Insurance offering, a verified concussion claim triggers immediate, insurer-funded access to professional-grade concussion management—fulfilled via a Sportscover-branded digital channel. Commencing through Hockey Australia channels, this practical and scalable approach puts welfare first: clubs gain a clearer pathway, families gain confidence, and athletes receive support at the moment they need it most. This is a world-leading approach to concussion management and gives amateur sports participants the opportunity to access the same level of care as provided in the professional realms of sport. Just as braces support recovery from joint injuries, PROTEQT™ supports concussion management by monitoring head-impact exposure and informing safer return-to-play pathways."
