Insurance

QYUTA, along with the Victorian Yard Utility Farm Dog Association and the NSW Yard Dog Association (referred to as the Group) have joint public liability and voluntary workers insurance policies.

The Group’s public liability policy is underwritten by Lloyd’s of London and Beazley and expires on 30 November 2023. The limit of liability under the policy is AUD 20,000,000.

The business conducted under the policy is detailed in the Certificate of Currency.

The public liability policy wording is available here

The Group’s voluntary workers insurance policy is underwritten by Chubb Insurance Australia and expires on 1 January 2024.

A copy of the Certificate of Currency is available here.

The Chubb Insurance Australia policy wording is available here. The detailed policy schedule listing the benefit payments is available here.

The Voluntary Workers policy covers all voluntary workers working in a voluntary capacity on behalf of the Policyholder. This includes volunteers who help setup and dismantle yards, backyard volunteers at the trial, volunteers on the timekeepers table and judges provided they are not paid a judging fee.

The Voluntary Workers policy does have upper age limitations as regards benefit payments to those aged 75 or over. Please refer to page 33 of the Chubb policy wording for details of the benefit limitations. There are no age restrictions as to who is covered under the policy.

This policy excludes personal accident cover for members whilst they are competing. If you subsequently volunteer in the backyards, this policy would only cover you during the period/s of time that you are volunteering.
