Insurance

Group Insurance Policy Cover for Regional Arts NSW Members.

Regional Arts NSW offers group insurance policies for its members and affiliated members in association with Finsura Insurance Broking (Australia) Pty Ltd (Finsura). To participate in this scheme, your organisation must be a current financial member of Regional Arts NSW Ltd.

Any body corporate which is a not for profit Local Arts Organisation may apply for affiliate membership of the Company. This means any not for profit organisation based in regional or rural NSW that is a legal entity, such as an incorporated association, and that has in its objectives an arts or cultural purpose, can apply for membership. This could be an arts council, a festival, an artists’ society, a writers group, a film society and so on.

As an affiliated member of Regional Arts NSW your organisation has access to the group insurance policies we have arranged through Finsura. This means that you have access to specific insurance products/policies which are brokered across a large network of clients working in the arts and cultural sector in regional NSW.

Affiliation Fees

The annual subscription for affiliated members is $55.00 including GST and is due and payable on 1st April each year. An application form for membership must be completed and forwarded to Regional Arts NSW (download here).

Available Policies

Regional Arts NSW has two policies which are available for purchase by our members. They are:

Broadform Liability or ‘Public Liability’ Insurance
Voluntary Workers Personal Accident Insurance

Individual Artists

Unfortunately, we are not able to extend access to our group insurance policies to individual artists. We suggest you contact Regional Arts Victoria who has a group public liability scheme for individual artists. http://www.rav.net.au/about-us/rav-members.
