Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional Indemnity & Public Liability Insurance is a mandatory requirement for all practising members.  It is also a requirement by health funds in order to become registered as a recognised provider.

In these days of ever increasing litigation, anyone not affording themselves this protection risks their personal assets if sued. Members may hold insurance cover from any company, as long as it meets the minimum cover of $2M of professional indemnity and $10M in public liability.  This section of the policy may also be referred to as ‘civil liability’ or ‘per policy occurrence limit’.

Exceptions to the above is Chinese Herbal Medicine practitioners who must hold a minimum of $5M in professional indemnity and $10M in public liability.

There is no minimum on the aggregate amount.  An ‘aggregate’ is the amount the policy is able to pay out over the policies’ term.  Which is in most cases, 12 months.  As an example, if your indemnity portion is $2M with an aggregate of $10M, it allows payouts to a total of $10M in a single policy period.

Please note: The CMA do not have any direct affiliations or ‘incentive agreements’ in place with any insurance providers, we allow our members to obtain a policy that best suites their needs and budgets.

Below are some insurance options and contact details for each.  Many other insurance providers for natural therapies practitioners are available.
