For a number of years one of the key things Landcare groups have asked for is cost effective insurance that provides adequate protection for group members.  WA Landcare Network are now able to deliver on that need with the new  Insurance Program.

Also, for a number of years one of the key things governments at all levels, investors and partner organisations have asked for is accurate information about Landcare in WA, the number of groups and volunteers involved – the army on the ground.  The new Insurance program is one of the ways that WA Landcare Network can deliver on this need.

The WALN Insurance Scheme works in partnership with Ceneta Insurance Service to arrange insurance tailored specifically to the Landcare community and suiting a range of Landcare groups. The scheme includes General (Public) Liability and Volunteer Workers Personal Accident cover, as well as Association Liability (if applicable) cover – which includes a range of covers such as Professional Indemnity and Officers & Directors Liability.

Similar insurance schemes already operating in the NSW, Queensland and Victoria have proved very popular with landcare groups, with over 500 groups benefiting so far, many with their insurance premiums halved.

To be eligible for the WALN Insurance Scheme landcare groups must first sign up as WALN member groups. WALN Membership is open to any community group with an interest in landcare including those organisations caring for the State’s urban and rural bushland, waterways, wetlands, natural places.
