WHAT'S NEW @ AIPF
Professional Indemnity & Public & Products Liability Insurance
We have explored numerous options to provide our members with insurance benefits by negotiating a "Master Professional Indemnity/Public Liability Insurance Policy" for their professional protection. AIPF has made an agreement with Parmia Pty Ltd (www.parmia.com.au) to be able to offer our Members two insurance options for a fantastic price:
Professional Indeminity Insurance ($5,000,000)
- annual premium of $290
Public Liability Insurance Liability ($10,000,000)
- annual premium of $140
(including all statutory & administrative charges) In 2008, the Professional Indemnity premium will be included in our Membership Fees.
Having insurance is a small price to pay to protect your business, your family and your reputation from any claims made against you.
