Insurance for the Clubs That Bring Communities Together
Most sports clubs, social clubs and community organisations in Australia rely on volunteers and committee members to make their most important decisions. While those volunteers are very good at running teams, events and membership programs, they rarely have good knowledge of insurance.
​

Key Insurance Areas for Sports and Community Clubs
Due to their activities, facilities, volunteers and members, every club faces different risks. Our team will review your operations to determine the right level of coverage for your organisation's needs. Options may include the following:
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance covers legal liability if a third party suffers a personal injury or damage to their property as a result of club activities. If your club regularly hosts spectators. Runs events. Or manages facilities. It might be worth obtaining this type of cover.
Personal Accident Insurance lump
Personal accident insurance provides protection for players, coaches, workers, and volunteers who sustain an injury while participating in approved club activities. Some of the associated benefits that may be provided include medical expenses, weekly income support, lump-sum payments, accidental death benefits, and other eligible payments.
Management Liability Insurance
Management liability insurance protects committee members and office bearers against claims that arise from issues relating to governance decisions, employment matters, discrimination allegations, and regulatory obligations.
Property and Contents Insurance
Property insurance helps to protect everything from club buildings and equipment to stock, computers, contents and other physical assets. If you own or lease your premises, any damage incurred from insured events can create significant financial pressure if you don't have this type of cover.
Association Liability Insurance
This policy is designed to provide cover for incorporated associations. It can protect both the club and its members, with coverage that may extend to wrongful acts, allegations of breach of duty, and certain employment-related claims.
Cyber and Crime Insurance
Many clubs now accept online payments, run member databases, and communicate through digital platforms. However, this puts them at risk of cybercrime, fraudulent transactions, and data breaches, which might impact their club operations. This insurance can protect your organisation against all of them.
What Makes Club Insurance Different
Sports, leisure and community clubs have a unique risk profile that often falls outside standard business insurance arrangements. For instance, a single club may employ staff and rely on volunteers. They may also lease a council facility, run fundraising events and host licensed areas. Each of these activities needs to be considered for insurance coverage.

Our team will help to ascertain the most appropriate insurance structure for your needs before any claims occur.
