VMIA Insurance Cover for Victorian U3As
VMIA is a statutory authority established to provide insurance for Victorian State assets
and risks, reporting through the Victorian State Government Department of Treasury and
Finance.
As part of our U3A Network's relationship with the Office of Senior Victorians, U3A has
established a policy with VMIA, and all Victorian U3As which are members of U3A Network
are covered under the policy - unless a U3A has formally indicated that it does not want to
be covered under the VMIA policy.
Insurance cover at this time is:
Public Liability
$20 million
Professional Liability
$20 million
Directors and Officers Liability
$20 million
Entity Fidelity
$100,000
Medical Indemnity
$20,000
For Personal Accident, the cover is $250,000 Capital Benefits up to age 79. $1,500 per
week, being 85% of pre-disability earnings - for up to 104 weeks to 75 years of age; 26
weeks from 76-79 years of age.
For each U3A, the cover outlined above applies to management, committee members,
patron(s), incorporated bodies, directors, officers, employees and paid or unpaid
volunteers.
COVER DOES NOT APPLY TO ORDINARY MEMBERS OF U3A.
We currently have cover for Public Liability, Fire and General Burglary and Personal
Accident for Volunteer workers. Personal Accident cover for volunteers is only
applicable when on duty. Members should note they are NOT covered for Personal
Accident. The recourse should be through Medicare and/or private health cover.
