Hi TKR, I have forwarded your post to the VUHC commitie. I hope they can get in touch with you soon and clarify your questions and concerns.
I have no idea about the insurance money.

$850 snr team fee, or $650 for jnr team fee
$25 AUF levy
All players need to be and AUF member for insurance
Optional-Presso at Luna Park

These are the details provided to all states indending to compete.

Belle
