NAVA Premium Plus

Insurance and Assessment Summary

NAVA Premium Plus Membership includes the following types of insurances:

• Public and Products Liability (includes Property Damage): $20,000,000
• Professional Indemnity: $5,000,000
• Property in physical or legal control: $250,000
• Personal Accident up to $1000 per week

Before applying, please read the Factsheet and Professional Assessment Criteria to ensure this policy is right for you, noting it is exclusively available for professional visual artists, craftspeople, designers, curators, installers, registrars, conservators, arts administrators and arts educators.

To qualify, complete and lodge an application which is assessed to determine your professional status. The application requires personal and work history details including an abbreviated curriculum vitae and an active ABN. Once professional status is determined, your information is given to our broker Cover for Creatives. 

Applications are currently processed in 10 working days. If your application is declined you will be refunded within 10 working days. A $20.00 administration fee will be deducted from this refund.

Partnerships, Pty Ltd and other company structures

Insurance for a group will cover individuals working under the group’s ABN. However, if you work part-time for the group and also do your own artistic work separately, you will need your own insurance for that work. Registered businesses or ABNs as partnerships, or collectives or companies can hold a single NAVA Premium Plus (PP) Membership to cover a group of up to five people. Each additional person of the group (Members 2 - 5) will be listed on the application form and must join as an individual NAVA Premium Member (with a separate NAVA account) for the full year before the Premium Plus Membership and insurance can be approved. 

If you are part of a group but also run your own creative practice under a different ABN, you will need your own Premium Plus Membership, as shared insurance will not cover individual work conducted outside the group.
