Not for Profit and Charity Insurance for Australian Organisations

This insurance provides a safety net for the people and assets that make up your community organisation, so you can focus entirely on your social cause.

At Barrack Broking, our focus is on being an advocate for your not for profit or charity. We’re an insurance broker, not a direct insurer, so we have your best interests at heart, supporting you in building adequate protection for your business, so you can continue to give back to the community with peace of mind.

The Risks Facing
Not for Profits and Charities

Not for profit and charity insurance is a tailored package of insurance created to protect community organisations, charities, and clubs from any financial loss incurred from public liability claims, management errors, property damage, and injuries. It protects both your funding and physical assets, ensuring you can continue operating with confidence.

Navigating the charity sector comes with unique risks that may make your organisation vulnerable. Your average commercial policy won’t always address the core exposures that modern Australian NFPs face. Such as:

Public Liability

Third-party injuries or property damage that may occur during community programmes, fundraisers or other charity events.

Volunteer Injury

For volunteers not covered under Workers’ Compensation, NFP and charity insurance can protect you from accidents involving your voluntary staff.

Management Decisions

Legal exposures that result from your board and directors management decisions, such as alleged mismanagement or employee disputes.

Damage to Property and Equipment

Covers loss or theft of your physical assets, from specialist equipment to your premises.

 

Abuse and Misconduct Claims

The inherent exposures when working with vulnerable groups and minors, including legal and reputational risks.

 

What Cover We Can Arrange

Every social organisation is different. That's why we provide tailored insurance solutions, rather than off the shelf policies.

At Barrack Broking, we help place the following protections:

Public and Product Liability

Public and Property Liability insurance protects your NFP and Charity from legal claims where a third party has suffered personal injury or property damage due to your business activities or products.

Management Liability

Coverage for your organisation against decisions made by your leadership team, such as mismanagement claims, legislative breaches or employment disputes.

Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance

Personal asset cover for your directors and officers so they aren’t left financially vulnerable if a claim is made against their management decisions.

Voluntary Workers Personal Accident

Protects your voluntary staff if they require medical treatment or experience loss of income while working for your organisation.

Property & Contents (Business Package)

Insurance for your physical assets against weather impact, theft and accidental damage.

Event & Activity Cover

Ideal extension for organisations that regularly host social events, such as festivals, fundraisers, or community gatherings.

Frequently Asked 
Questions

01What does not for profit and charity insurance cover?

Our insurance solutions cover the legal and financial risks that community organisations face day-to-day. A standard package includes public liability, management liability, volunteer personal accidental cover, and property insurance

02Do volunteers need to be insured?

Yes. Since they aren’t covered by standard Workers’ Compensation, it’s critical to cover any expenses or costs that make them out of pocket if they’re injured while volunteering for you.

03How much does charity insurance cost in Australia?

While premiums vary depending on the size and structure of your organisation, it is likely a smaller, low-risk business may pay just a few hundred dollars with an annual package, whereas a multi-state welfare charity handling vulnerable groups where risk is higher will result in higher premiums.
