Association Liability Insurance - Sydney Insurance Brokers

Association liability insurance is essential for not-for-profit and volunteer organizations, providing crucial protection against claims that could seriously harm the organization.

Importance of Coverage

Obligations to Volunteers and Public: Despite their not-for-profit status, volunteer organizations have similar obligations to their volunteers and the public as profit-making businesses.
Risk of Legal Costs: Defending claims, even unsuccessful ones, can result in substantial legal costs. Proper insurance is a safeguard against such financial burdens.

Key Considerations for Insurance

Managing Volunteer Risks: Given the nature of volunteer work, maintaining consistent OHS training can be challenging, increasing the risk of injury claims.
Effective Training and Monitoring: Implementing suitable training programs, such as cloud-based solutions, and careful monitoring of volunteer activities are important steps in reducing liability risks.
