Volunteers are the backbone of many Australian communities, especially within churches and not-for-profit organisations. At Grace Insurance, we recognise the invaluable contributions these individuals make and the importance of safeguarding their well-being. Voluntary Workers Insurance is essential in providing protection for those who selflessly give their time.
Why Voluntary Workers Insurance is Essential
Voluntary Workers Insurance offers financial protection to volunteers who may sustain injuries while performing unpaid work for an organisation. Unlike paid employees, volunteers are not typically covered by standard workers’ compensation schemes. This insurance ensures that volunteers receive support if accidents occur during their service.
Benefits of Voluntary Workers Insurance
- Medical and Rehabilitation Expenses
- Covers costs for medical treatment, hospital stays, and rehabilitation services required due to an injury sustained while volunteering.
- Accidental Death and Disability Benefits
- Provides lump-sum payments to beneficiaries in the unfortunate event of a volunteer’s accidental death or permanent disability.
- Income Replacement
- Offers weekly benefits if a volunteer is unable to work in their regular employment due to injuries from volunteer activities.
- Additional Support Services
- Includes coverage for home help, childcare, and travel expenses related to medical treatment.
Tailoring Coverage for Churches and Not-for-Profits
At Grace Insurance, we understand that each organisation has unique needs. We work closely with churches and not-for-profits to customise Voluntary Workers Insurance policies that align with their specific activities and risks.
