Insurance
The benefits for TUSA affiliated Clubs and Societies are that TUSA provides insurance coverage as TUSA holds General and Products Liability insurance cover for all TUSA affiliated clubs and societies.
Your membership list must be lodged with TUSA via Rubric (QPay) to be covered by the insurance.
Why?
Because only members listed there are covered for incidents occurring at your club and society’s sanctioned (where TUSA has approved your risk assessment) events under our student accident insurance policy.
Our insurance covers currently enrolled University of Tasmania (UTAS) students and associate members from 16-80 years of age for non-Medicare claimable medical expenses (some exclusions apply from 65-80 years of age). If you have junior members under 16 years old your club/society will need to source and pay for separate insurance cover.
- TUSA does not provide any other personal accident, income, property, or indemnity insurance cover for club/society members.
- It is the responsibility of each Club/Society Executive to manage the risks associated with club-run events and seek advice where necessary. Clubs/societies are encouraged to use risk waivers and parental consent forms where appropriate.
- Club/Society Executives will be personally and legally responsible for any commercial contracts and/or sponsorship agreements entered into on behalf of the club/society.
- Limited public liability insurance may be available in relation to third parties claims.
If you need a copy of our General Public Liability Certificate of Currency for a particular event/activity, please contact the Clubs and Societies Team. Please note this will only be provided after the relevant risk assessment has been approved by the TUSA C&S Team.
If your Club or Society hosts events that have not got approved Event Applications, Risk Assessments and any other required documentation for that type of event (e.g., event with alcohol requires RSAs, events that take people into the wilderness, Wilderness First Aid, events on school campuses or with vulnerable people, you are required to have WWVP and so on), you waive your Clubs access to Insurance.
