Why do Childcare Centres need insurance?

If you’re looking for childcare insurance, you’re probably looking for a provider who knows your industry and understands risks commonly found in the childcare industry. With 30+ years’ experience in the education sector, Aon has been able to organise flexible building blocks of childcare insurance equipped with a deep understanding of the Australian Government’s requirements. 

Dealing with children, you know first-hand how a minor incident can turn into something much larger and can have a detrimental impact on your business’ livelihood. Whether one of your children slips over and breaks their arm or has an allergic reaction, incidents happen to even the most careful businesses. Having appropriate insurance cover in place can help make sure you can keep the lights on in your own business even if you do experience certain disasters.

What Insurance do Childcare Centres need?

Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity insurance is designed for professionals who provide advice or services to their customers. It can cover claims made against your business by customers or other third parties alleging that in performing your professional services, your business has caused them loss.
Public Liability
Public Liability includes cover for your legal liability if third party property damage and/or bodily injury arises as a result of your centre’s activities. Plus, if your centre meets the standards, terms and conditions required by the insurer, Public Liability may cover your organisation, directors and voluntary workers for Sexual Abuse claims (this is sub-limited).
Directors & Officers
Where a wrongful act(s) has been deemed to have been performed by the Office Bearer of an association in the capacity of their role, this policy will pay compensation on behalf of that Office Bearer for losses arising from that claim.
Property Insurance
Property Insurance covers your building(s) and items that are located at your premises, which include contents, toys, outdoor equipment or money, should they get  damaged or stolen. For those items that need to leave the premises, just let us know and they may be covered too. 
Business Interruption
If the centre can’t open its doors as a result of a Property Insurance claim, your cash flow may be affected. Business Interruption may lessen the impact by covering loss of Gross Profit as a result of the claim.
