The Australian Podiatry Association (APodA) advocates for the profession and strives to provide education and services to its members. This includes providing membership benefits to support members in their career. The APodA Member Insurance Program, in partnership with BMS, does just that.
BMS is the official insurance broker for APodA members, dedicated to providing comprehensive cover and value-added services. The program offers a range of insurance policies, from professional indemnity insurance, public liability insurance, entity insurance, and more − to help ensure members are covered for all aspects of their work.
If you interact with patients on a regular basis, having your own insurance policy is a good way to help protect yourself while working. Relying on your employer’s insurance policy could mean you don’t have cover for all aspects of your role.
It is important that APodA members have adequate professional indemnity insurance cover. Additionally, some members may want to add entity insurance, and/or business insurance.
The insurance program offers a suite of policies to meet your needs as a podiatrist (see below).
Each year, policies under the program are reviewed against key areas of risk and claims data to ensure they continue to provide comprehensive cover.
With BMS, you can hold a combined Professional Indemnity and Public & Products Liability Policy.
Looking for a different type of cover? As a specialist insurance broker, BMS can work with you to place policies that meet your needs. Speak to BMS to find the insurance solution that’s right for you.
You can add insurance to your APodA membership at any time. Simply add cover to your membership via the APodA website.
