Professional Indemnity Insurance

The insurance broker has arranged a policy to cover all qualified calisthenic coaches for Professional Indemnity. All states of Australia are covered by this policy and the premium charged to each state is based on their total number of qualified coaches. To be eligible to take out this insurance, members must be either:

  • Coaches with completed Level One or Level Two qualifications;
  • Cadets/Assistants who have enrolled for the next available Level One course, or who are in the process of completing their Level One qualifications.

The current details of the policy are shown below:

When the premium details for the ensuing policy period are received from the broker, the full cost is paid by the VCCA Inc. A renewal form, (as part of the Membership renewal form), is then issued to each member with the individual premium required. Each member of the VCCA must complete the renewal form and return it together with the applicable payment to the VCCA Registrar. When payment is received, the member is automatically included under this policy.

Claims

If a claim should occur, the member must contact the C.V.I. Office (Ph: 9562 6011) and advise them of the details. A claim form shall be subsequently issued, which must be completed and returned to the address listed on the form.
If the member has NOT PAID the premium for this policy, then the claim shall be REJECTED and the member will have to handle the matter herself.
