HEN has Public Liability Insurance to $10,000,000. Members can access this insurance for the purposes of:

• Venue or camp hire ($10,000,000 is the usual amount required by most venues)
• Small group activities involving up to 150 people
• Volunteers working on behalf of HEN

There are exclusion clauses for adventure activities; volunteers who are drunk and disorderly; and so on. Members and potential members are welcome to peruse the policy to see exactly what they are/would be covered for. If you are a member booking a venue you will need a copy of our certificate of currency which you will need for your venue hire agreement. Contact Lyn at lml@mira.net

We have been told by our insurer and the Education Department that it is not necessary for home educators to take out Work Experience cover. As long as work experience kids are paid a notional wage (even $5), they are covered by Workcare. They are also covered by the public liability insurance on the workplace.

Many Home and Contents insurance policies have Public Liability insurance attached to them. In some cases this can be used as extra cover for kids that do volunteer work in the community.

Insurance enquiries from members and prospective members should be directed to Lyn at lml@mira.net
