Playgroup NSW Inc.

About Insurance

Playgroup NSW is the only organisation in NSW to offer comprehensive insurance to cover playgroups, your equipment and possessions, the group's volunteers, and participating adults and children. This managed scheme is affordable due to the large number of groups and families participating. Playgroup NSW takes the stress away from you as a parent or volunteer by coordinating the scheme. History tells us that it is very difficult to get affordable insurance for just one group.

It is important to note nearly all of community venues, halls or churches in NSW will require your playgroup to have appropriate insurances. If your group is a home based group you will need insurance cover to conduct Playgroup activities in yours and other members' homes. This safeguards you in the event of a legal action being taken as the household owner.

Many people mistakenly believe that if they hire a community venue or church you are covered by the venue or church insurance. In most cases venues have only public liability coverage for their hall and its committee; meaning if you or your child is injured or you injure someone else you are personally liable. This also applies if you damage the halls property such as breaking a window.

If the venue does not have public liability insurance we strongly recommend your group not use the premises.

This is why membership with Playgroup NSW is important. Click here for further details of our membership policy and attending a Playgroup.
