NOT-FOR-PROFIT & COMMUNITY SECTOR
Insurance for organisations that exist for people, not profit.
Charities, community groups, sporting clubs and associations carry risks most businesses never face — volunteers, public events, committees of well-meaning locals, and funding agreements with strict insurance conditions. We arrange cover built around how your organisation actually runs.

WHAT WE ARRANGE
Cover built for the not-for-profit sector
COMMITTEE PROTECTION
Association & management liability
Protects your committee, board members and office bearers personally if the organisation faces claims over decisions, employment matters or governance.
THE ESSENTIAL
Public liability
Cover if a member of the public is injured or property is damaged — usually required before councils, schools or venues will let you use their facilities.
YOUR PEOPLE
Volunteer personal accident
Volunteers aren’t covered by workers compensation. This cover supports them if they’re injured while helping your organisation.
EVENTS
Event & activity cover
Fetes, fun runs, fundraisers, festivals — one-off or recurring events covered, including stallholders and cancellation options.
PROPERTY
Property, contents & equipment
Clubhouses, halls, sporting equipment, instruments, tools and donated goods — insured where you store them and where you take them.
DIGITAL RISK
Cyber insurance
Member databases and donor records make NFPs a real target. Cover for data breaches, scams and business email compromise.
ADVICE & SERVICES
Professional indemnity
If your organisation provides advice, counselling, training or care services, this protects you against claims arising from that work.
MONEY HANDLING
Fidelity & crime
Protection against theft or fraud involving the organisation’s funds — a difficult topic, but one funders and auditors increasingly expect you to address.
SOMETHING ELSE
Tailored to your organisation
Overseas projects, motor fleets, personal accident for participants — if your organisation does it, we can look at covering it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Not-for-profit insurance FAQs
Often, yes — even small groups usually need public liability before hiring a hall or running an event, and committee members can carry personal exposure regardless of the organisation’s size. The good news is that cover for small groups can be more affordable than most committees expect. It’s worth a conversation before assuming it’s out of reach.
Generally, no — workers compensation schemes cover employees, not volunteers. That’s why volunteer personal accident cover exists: it can help with things like loss of income and out-of-pocket expenses if a volunteer is injured while carrying out organisation activities. The right structure depends on your state and your activities, which we’ll walk through with you.
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons NFPs come to us. Send us the insurance clause from your funding agreement, lease or venue contract and we’ll arrange cover that meets it and provide the certificate of currency your funder or venue requires.
It depends on the policy — this is exactly the fine print worth checking. Association liability and management liability policies can extend to office bearers and committee members personally, but definitions and exclusions vary between insurers. We review the wording so you know precisely who’s protected and for what.
Often yes — one-off event cover exists for exactly this situation. Whether a single-event policy or an annual policy makes more sense depends on how much activity your organisation runs across the year; sometimes the annual option costs little more and covers everything else too. We’ll price both so you can decide.
