What insurance do NDIS providers need?
The NDIS Practice Standards require appropriate insurance, including professional indemnity, public liability and accident insurance. For verification, providers show certificates of currency for public liability, professional indemnity, and personal accident or workers compensation, at a level that suits the scope of their supports.
The covers NDIS providers usually hold
| Cover | Why |
|---|---|
| Professional indemnity | Claims about the support, advice or care you provide. |
| Public liability | A participant or visitor is injured, or property is damaged. |
| Personal accident or workers compensation | Injury to you or your workers. |
| Vehicle cover | If you transport participants, tell your insurer. |
Matching cover to your supports
The NDIS Commission says the cover should meet a minimum level that suits the scope of the provider, and advises providers to get professional advice on the type and amount. A licensed broker can help match limits to the supports you’re registered for.
