Community Public Liability Insurance application

Public liability insurance

If you hire a council-managed property, you must have current public liability insurance. You will need to provide us with a copy of your Certificate of Currency that is:

  • In the name of the event organisers/or be listed as an interested party
  • Current at the time of the activity
  • Include exclusions or limitations of policy
  • Provide coverage for at least (AU) $10,000,000

 

Not-for-profits and insurance

If you don't have public liability insurance and you are an individual or group hosting a non-profit making activity, we may be able to arrange coverage under our policy for a fee, depending on the nature of your activity/event.

 

Local Community Insurance

If we are not able to provide coverage for your event the Municipal Association of Victoria offers a Community Insurance Scheme for volunteer community groups, which is underwritten by the QBE Insurance Group and managed by Jardine Lloyd Thompson. 

It is your responsibility as an event organiser to ensure that any performers/contractors and/or suppliers involved in your event have their own public liability insurance.

It is part of your duty of care to look into voluntary workers insurance, as a means of ensuring the safety of volunteer workers at your event.
