Not-For-Profit

Insurance for essential communities

At Austcover, we understand the unique challenges faced by not-for-profit organisations.

Operating within tight budgets and often relying on volunteers, not-for-profits are essential to the Australian community. Whether you’re a charity, fundraising group, social service organisation, youth centre, disability service, or aged care facility, your organisation faces unique risks that require specialised insurance and risk management solutions.

Understanding the risks

Not-for-profit organisations face diverse risks depending on their size, scope, and activities. Here are some of the key risks for this sector:

  • Liability Claims: Incidents involving third-party injuries or property damage at events or premises.
  • Volunteer Protection: Ensuring volunteers are covered in case of accidents or injuries while carrying out their duties.
  • Cybersecurity: Protecting sensitive donor, financial, and operational data from cyberattacks.
  • Professional Indemnity: Covering risks associated with giving advice or delivering services.
  • Property Damage: Safeguarding offices, equipment, and venues against fire, theft, or natural disasters.
  • Employment Practices: Protecting against claims of harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination
