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.
