Why Ausdance recommends this scheme, designed specifically for our members:
1.    The Ausdance Insurance scheme is underwritten by APRA approved underwriters licensed to conduct business in the Australian insurance market, rather than unauthorised overseas companies.
2.    Our Liability Package includes Public and Products Liability, together with Professional Indemnity (broadform coverage).
3.    Cover is available for teachers, independent artists' performances as well as for companies, and can be extended to include other dance-related activities . All forms of dance are catered for.
4.    Ausdance events, including those under the umbrella of Ausdance (e.g. community festivals) can be covered, virtually impossible to obtain for other community groups.
5.    Other insurance covers such as studio contents, personal accident and illness, Workers Compensation and Superannuation can be arranged.
6.    Australia-wide access is available, via the Aon number 1800 805 191
