Volunteers on Owner Builder Projects

People often ask us:
How can I protect my friends and family helping me on the project?
No one wants to think that family or a mate could get hurt on the project, so that's why we offer three levels of Volunteer Cover in our owner builder insurance quotes.

A Volunteer is


...

...

someone working on the project as unpaid labour (including the owner-builder and his or her spouse), and without the expectation of reward. Volunteers must be aged between 16 and 75, and be either the owner-builder or working under the supervision of the owner builder. There is a maximum of 10 volunteers per owner builder project.

Silver Volunteer Insurance 

Covers the volunteer against loss of income following an injury on the owner-builder project for 75% of gross weekly salary up to $500 per week. This covers the volunteer for up to six months following injury and has a waiting period of 21 days.

Gold Volunteer Upgrade

Extends the benefit period to twelve months following injury, and reduces the waiting period to 7 days. 75% of non-Medicare medical costs are also included up to $750.

Platinum Volunteer Upgrade

Includes the Gold upgrade, and includes benefits for childcare expenses, spouse/partner training costs, and setting up an education trust fund for children of the deceased volunteer.

Medical Expenses

Australian law prohibits general insurance from covering many medical expenses - if you or your volunteers need cover for medical costs, we'd recommend that you look into Health Insurance.

Choose Your Builder Carefully

Adam Weaver  adam@allrisk.com.au 25-03-2018 Talk to your builder It sounds obvious, but not all builders are the same; most are highly skilled, experienced, and competent, and some are ... not . Sadly, in insurance, we hear horror stories more often than not; usually when it's too late to do anything about the choice of builder. Ask questions Are you a licensed builder? Quite a few "builders" are actually carpenters and other trades, and whilst they may have loads of experience in the particular trade, are  less  experienced in budgeting and time management skills. For how long have you had your license ?  Do you have any completed projects we can view? Any client references? Don't be embarrassed to ask, you'd think that a good builder would be proud of his past work and his past clients would give him a good review. What other work do you have on the go? Realistically, most builders will be working on more than one job at any ...

How Much Does Owner Builder Insurance Cost Victoria

In most owner builder insurance, the exact area to be covered or secured depends on what kind of package or product you take out. It is necessary to specify them with proper assistance from the company’s expert. It is also important to choose the right company for your property protection. The first thing you must do is learn about their terms and policies through checking their websites or calling them through the phone. In some places of Australia, companies provide service but with hidden charges. This is not the case all the time but it happens even here in Victoria. This is a very deceiving trick.  And for most of us who has goals, this is very obstructive too.

It is very important to spread awareness so that these companies will stop this kind of deception to their customers. If ...

Owner Builder Insurance Cost

In some parts of Australia, you can never totally rely on a certain insurance company. In choosing the right one, you would really need to dig deep for its background first before you should decide to work with it. This is tough for  owner builders   because it could consume a lot of time and they have no other option but to do this. In many cases, companies hire incompetent tradespeople who fail to deliver a decent service. Some of them cannot even secure insurance because of lack of legitimacy. That is why sometimes,  the license  becomes meaningless. It cannot assure credibility anymore. It is unfortunate but many Australians have ignored this fact. This has been happening in the insurance industry for how many decades. Until now, you can still find corrupt companies trying to take advantage of other people’s weakness and vulnerability. It is now time we should address this issue for the sake of other future clients. In Australia, thousands of builder...
