Insurance for your Men’s Shed

Making sure you have adequate safety rules in your Shed and that all your equipment is operating optimally is vital for a healthy Shed but it is also important that all Sheds have adequate insurance. You may require a range of insurances to protect the organisation and its volunteers. Insurance can provide a level of protection for public liability, personal accident, financial losses to committee members or officers and/or loss of income for volunteers as a result of an injury.

These are insurance providers we know have good policies for sheds:

• Australian Men’s Sheds Association (AMSA)
• Jobs Australia

Insurance prices 2022

The price per member for the two insurance agencies for 2022 is:

• Australian Men’s Sheds Association (AMSA) – $28.00
• Jobs Australia – $35.75 + membership subscription of $2.25 per Men’s Shed Member.

Price per member is not the only thing to consider when choosing your insurance provider. Please make sure to consider the product statement to determine what is right for your Shed.
