Federation of Wine and Food Societies of Australia
Public Liability Insurance.
Does Your Society Have Public Liability Insurance?
| Your Cellar stock is insured, and your
building (if any) is insured for fire and flood, but what if a guest or
member sues your Society and/or its members for personal injury or loss
of income. Are you insured? Can you and your members afford to pay?
Incorporation reduces the risk somewhat, but in this age of frequent litigation, your Society and its members need to be protected by a Public Liability Insurance policy. The Executive of the Federation has negotiated a bulk purchase of a policy with Marano Insurance which will cost you the very reasonable sum of $11.50 per member, GST included. Cover is for $!0 million, and there is a $500 excess on claims. For at least two Societies, this is about half what they used to pay for cover. We now have more than a dozen Societies included under our 'blanket' coverage, but obviously, the more we can get coverage for, the better it will be. Having finally got this insurance coverage after two surveys, and years of frustration, we can now give another good answer to 'What is the Federation doing for you?' Please consider having your Society joining the Federation Public Liability insurance scheme. Contact our Secretary, Jan Humphreys on email >>> or phone her on 03 5984 1934 for more details |
