Independent NDIS Support Coordinators need the right insurance

An NDIS Support Coordinator plays a vital role in helping NDIS participants understand and implement the funded supports in their NDIS plan. They help link participants to services and providers and support them to build the skills they need to independently direct their lives.

Why does an Independent NDIS Support Coordinators need insurance?

An independent Support Coordinator is seen as an independent contractor and so needs to have their own Public Liability and Personal Indemnity insurance cover to protect them from claims made against them.

As an independent Support Coordinator, you take on a great deal of responsibility. You are often helping make decisions for and acting on behalf of the people you are supporting.  You are making assumptions about their capabilities and requirements. Actions are executed according to your assessment of them and their family and surroundings.

Because of this, if something were to go wrong as a result of your actions, decisions or advice, you could be held liable.

To help independent support coordinators cover the risks they face while doing this important work, MyCareSpace is partnering with BizCover, a small business insurance specialist. We have spent quite some time helping Biz Cover and the insurance companies they work with understand the role of a support coordinator in the disability industry.

Do insurance companies recognise the occupation of an 'NDIS Support Coordinator'?

The short answer is no, not until MyCareSpace got involved. 

Now that they do understand your role and the associated risks, we bring to you the FIRST NDIS Support Coordinator insurance policy. This is tailor-made insurance cover for independent NDIS support coordinators.

What about if I already have insurance cover?

Well, until now the occupation of NDIS Support Coordinators was not recognised. Are you sure will be covered in the event that something happens and you need to make a claim?

What kind of insurance cover is included for independent NDIS support coordinators?

 1. Professional Indemnity

Covers you against legal claims for actions arising from the performance of your duties. E.g. giving advice, making decisions, 

 2. Public Liability

Protects you against claims resulting from accidents or injuries that occur as a result of your negligence, as well as damage to property owned or controlled by someone else which also occurs as a result of your actions.

3. Personal Accident (optional add on)

An accident or serious illness could force you to stop working for an extended period, leaving you without an income.

Personal Accident and Illness insurance can provide levels of cover for loss of income if you are unable to work, permanently disabled or even pass away as a result of an unexpected injury or illness (even if it occurs outside of your employment). It is not a one size fits all type of insurance and can be tailored to suit your personal needs.
