Event Organiser's Insurance
Public Liability and Products Insurance cover to run your Homeschooling Activities
Included as part of your HEA membership
This insurance is designed to cover the volunteer parent/guardian who organises group events or functions for home educating families.
The organiser(s) must be a current HEA member, hold a current WWCC or WWVP and attend the event.
The organiser must hold a current WWCC for the state they reside in and upload the appropriate details to the insurance application form. You can find a table with the relevant state links to apply for your Working with Children Check or Vunerable People.
The organiser(s) must be acting in a volunteer capacity.
The HEA recommends you request access to this public liability insurance whenever you organise a group homeschooling event. Do this by registering your event with the link button below. Responsibility to understand the cover and exclusions falls to the organiser of the event.
There will need to be a WWCC holder for every 30 children or part thereof, attending an event.
Attendance records are compulsory to submit.
The cover is ideal when you are hiring a meeting space, as many venues require public liability insurance.
Camps or retreats are no longer covered.
If you require a copy of the HEA's Charitable status document in order to gain discounted or free venue-hire, please email insurance@hea.edu.au
