Insurance Required To Be A Home Sustainability Assessor

Certified Home Sustainability Assessors are required to hold the following insurance:

$10 Million Public Liability Insurance, and
$2 Million Professional Indemnity Insurance ($5 Million for companies).

In general, insurance must be held for one year following the expiration or termination of a particular contract.

Check the details of your contract with your employer for requirements specific to your circumstance.

If you are negotiating Public Liability (PL) and Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance you may find the letter below from the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) useful to outline the role and risks associated with conducting home sustainability assessments.

Please note that the levels of insurance required for the Australian Government Green Loans Program have changed, as stated above, since this letter was written).
