Professional Indemnity Insurance covers eligible members against civil action and for representation in coronial enquiries as a result of an incident arising out of the course of your employment. HACSU's Professional Indemnity Insurance is one of the important benefits that Direct Care Staff automatically receive as financial members of the Heath and Community Services Union.
This insurance is designed to provide protection for Nurses, Health Professionals and other Direct Care Staff. By taking out a group policy on behalf of all Direct Care members working in Psychiatric, Disability and Drug and Alcohol Services, the union has been able to provide these benefits at a fraction of the cost to an individual seeking similar insurance coverage. In fact with the rising cost of premiums in Australia private Professional Indemnity Insurance coverage of this kind has become unaffordable. HACSU has you covered as part of your weekly membership fees which, is also tax deductible.
