COVID-19

Will my NAVA insurance cover lost income and other impacts of COVID-19?

Coronavirus germ on green background

Unfortunately NAVA's Members' insurance package does not cover loss of income due to cancellation of work and other impacts of COVID-19.

NAVA's insurance policy only provides cover for your legal liability. While it does offer an income replacement mechanism, this is limited to cases where you are injured and cannot work due to this injury. 

The Personal Accident insurance that is included in NAVA's Premium Plus Membership is not a replacement for health insurance, life insurance or travel insurance, and does not cover cases where the insured is unable to work due to sickness.

Be assured that NAVA is advocating at both state and federal levels for urgent support in both the short and long term, so that we are all best placed to survive and thrive through this period.

Back your own horse

NAVA brings together the many voices of the contemporary arts sector to improve fundamental conditions of work and practice. We do this through advocacy, education and the Code of Practice.

Our Membership offers a range of professional services, resources, programs and benefits designed to help organisations sustain best practice and help artists build successful careers.

NAVA has launched its new insurance package through new brokers from 1 February 2025. 

Please note that if your current Premium Plus Membership expires on or before 31 January 2025, you are still covered by the LCIS package, and this change will not affect you. All new and renewing Premium Plus applications submitted from Saturday 1 February 2025 will be processed with the new insurance policy.
