What does NDIS Provider insurance cover?

An NDIS provider offers care services to participants in Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Whether you are an individual, business, or organisation that delivers support to people with a disability, you are automatically an NDIS provider if a participant uses their NDIS funding support to pay for your services. 

The care sector demands a multifaceted approach to insurance, to ensure every corner of your business is protected –from your staff, your participants, to your business itself.

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance protects your business from legal claims where a third party has suffered personal injury due to your business activities. For example, suppose a participant is injured on your business’s premises. Public liability insurance will cover the financial loss that your business may face if a claim is made.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

When claims of negligence, duty breaches, errors or wrongful advice arise, your business needs to be protected. Otherwise, you could face legal action and penalties that leave your business vulnerable. This is particularly important for the care sector which relies on professional advice and services by healthcare practitioner

Management Liability

This insurance deals with the risks that come from running a disability care business and the complex regulatory and employment landscape associated with it. It generally protects directors, officers and the company itself where claims are made in relation to how the business is managed.

Cyber Liability

Cyberattacks are a significant risk for disability care business owners since it involves handling sensitive participant data that is at risk of data breaches and cyberattacks. With digital threats increasing every day, this insurance prepares your business for the worst when your data privacy is compromised.

Personal Accident, Contents & Motor

This insurance involves personal accident insurance for sole traders, as well as contents protection to safeguard your physical assets, including your motor vehicles. For a comprehensive insurance policy without gaps, protecting the assets that drive your business forward is critical.

NDIS Provider insurance FAQ

01Is insurance mandatory for NDIS providers?

Yes. The NDIS commission expects strict compliance to regulations, otherwise you could receive significant fines. Registered providers must hold adequate insurance to pass NDIS audits, whereas unregistered providers require proof of currency to work with participants.
