The types of cover available to NFPs and charities

We can also tailor specific solutions for your needs. Download a brochure below to see what we can offer your Not-For-Profit, Charity, or Faith-Based Organisation.

Property Insurance - Commercial Premises

Unexpected events such as fire, theft, vandalism, or natural disasters can disrupt operations and cause financial strain. Property protection ensures that buildings, equipment, and essential assets are covered, helping organisations recover quickly and continue serving their communities.

Whether running a community centre, charity hub, or mission-based facility, this cover may provide financial security against damage, loss, and unforeseen risks - allowing resources to stay focused on the mission rather than costly repairs or replacements.

General Public & Products Liability Insurance

Accidents happen, and when they do, they can lead to costly legal claims. Public liability insurance provides financial protection if someone is injured or their property is damaged due to an organisation’s activities, events, or premises.

For not-for-profits, charities, and faith-based organisations, this cover ensures that legal costs and compensation claims don’t become a financial burden, allowing services to continue without disruption. Whether hosting events, running programs, or managing volunteers, public liability protection helps safeguard the organisation’s future.

 

Abuse and Misconduct Insurance

Allegations of abuse or misconduct can have serious financial, legal, and reputational consequences. This cover protects against allegations of sensitive and harmful incidents, misconduct, or negligence. It provides financial support for legal defence, settlements, and compliance with duty of care obligations.

Designed for organisations that work with vulnerable individuals, this protection ensures that leadership, staff, and volunteers are covered in the event of a claim, allowing essential services to continue while managing risk responsibly.

Associations Liability Insurance

Associations Liability Insurance is a specialist policy designed to protect not-for-profits, charities, and community organisations from legal and financial risks.

As more associations and NFPs are established to support communities, the risk of legal action has also grown. Even with the best intentions, organisations and their leaders can face costly lawsuits related to their services, governance, or employment practices. Without the right cover, these costs can be devastating.

Who Needs Associations Liability Insurance?

This insurance is ideal for:

  • Not-for-profit organisations
  • Community groups
  • Sporting clubs
  • Charities and associations

What does it cover?

  • Public liability: Protects against claims of injury or property damage caused by the organisation’s activities.
  • Directors and Officers (D&O) liability: Covers committee members and leaders against claims of mismanagement or negligence.
  • Employment practices liability (EPL): Protects against claims of workplace issues such as harassment, discrimination, or wrongful dismissal.
  • Fidelity (crime) coverage: May provide protection against employee theft or fraud.

Why it's important:

  • Risk Protection – Covers legal costs and settlements that could threaten your organisation’s future.
  • Safeguards Volunteers & Leaders – Ensures committee members and volunteers are protected while carrying out their roles.
  • Peace of Mind – Allows your organisation to focus on its mission without fear of unexpected legal costs.

Having the right NFP insurance means your organisation can continue serving the community with confidence. Get a tailored Associations Liability policy to protect your people, operations, and mission.


Professional Indemnity Insurance

When an organisation provides advice, support, or professional services, there’s always a risk that someone may claim it caused them harm—whether through misinformation, negligence, or a failure in duty of care. Professional indemnity insurance covers legal defence costs, settlements, and damages arising from these claims.

For not-for-profits, charities, and faith-based organisations, this means financial protection when offering counselling, training, case management, advocacy, or community programs. It ensures that claims of professional misconduct or errors don’t jeopardise the organisation’s ability to continue making a difference.

Volunteer Personal Accident Insurance

Injuries can have serious consequences for volunteers, affecting their health, income, and ability to continue serving. Volunteer personal accident insurance provides financial support for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost income if a volunteer is injured while carrying out their duties.

For not-for-profits, charities, and faith-based organisations, this means protecting those who give their time to make a difference. It ensures that volunteers receive the care they need without placing a financial burden on them or the organisation, allowing vital work to continue.

Cyber Insurance

Cyber threats can cripple an organisation, leading to financial loss, reputational damage, and legal consequences. Cyber insurance provides financial protection against hacking, internet fraud, viruses, and data or privacy breaches.

  • Operational Disruptions – Covers financial loss if systems are disabled due to cyber-attacks, ransomware, or fraud. This includes being unable to process donations, payments, or continue essential operations.
  • Stolen Funds & Fraud – Protects against funds stolen through social engineering scams or fraudulent transactions.
  • Privacy & Data Breach Liability – Covers legal costs, compensation claims, investigations, and penalties under the Privacy Act if sensitive data is accessed or leaked.
  • Business Interruption – Reimburses lost income and additional expenses needed to restore operations after a breach.
  • Incident Response & Recovery – Covers IT forensic investigations, credit monitoring, public relations costs, and cyber extortion expenses, including ransom payments.

    For not-for-profits, charities, and faith-based organisations, this means protecting critical systems, sensitive data, and financial stability—ensuring cyber threats don’t disrupt the mission.

Business Interruption Insurance

When operations are disrupted by fire, flood, vandalism, or other insured events, financial strain can quickly follow. Business interruption insurance covers lost income, ongoing expenses, and the costs of resuming operations.

For not-for-profits, charities, and faith-based organisations, this means essential programs, services, and community initiatives can continue without financial setbacks threatening their future. It ensures stability, so the focus remains on making an impact—not recovering from a crisis.

Breakdown of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment

When essential equipment fails, operations can grind to a halt. This insurance covers the cost of repairs or replacements for mechanical and electrical equipment that breaks down unexpectedly, ensuring minimal disruption and financial strain.

  • Coverage for Essential Equipment – Protects items such as air conditioning systems, refrigeration units, security systems, computers, and communication networks.
  • Repair and Replacement Costs – Covers expenses for fixing or replacing damaged machinery and electrical components.
  • Business Continuity Support – Provides financial assistance for temporary solutions to keep operations running while repairs are made.
  • Power Surge & Electrical Failure Protection – Covers damage caused by power surges, short circuits, and electrical malfunctions.

    For not-for-profits, charities, and faith-based organisations, this means staying operational when critical equipment fails—avoiding unexpected costs and ensuring services continue without disruption.
