1. Risk and risk mitigation in general club activities
1. i Risk Inheritance
Due to cost and availability, many community groups look to Rotary to operate their event under Rotary’s liability umbrella.
Our liability insurer will not accommodate any risk that is not subject to Rotary’s risk management processes, and outside the control of Rotary.
Full description of the event to be forwarded to DIO for preliminary acceptance. (see Rotary Insurance Pro-Forma)
- The event/project to be in Rotary’s name.
- Monies raised deposited in a Rotary account.
- The event operated under Rotary control, using Rotary risk management procedures.
- All publicity to recognise Rotary.
- Outside Operators must have their own liability cover
Remember we cannot accept any inherited activity under our liability, without these requirements being met.
1. ii Mitigation of risk to the club

Rotary District 9550 Liability Insurance Risk Management Plan
District 9550 participates in the National Rotary Insurance Program which includes a comprehensive Liability Policy. The policy includes cover for claims arising from molestation or alleged molestation.
Limit of Indemnity: Public Liability $50,000,000
Products Liability $50,000,000
Molestation $2,000,000
Insurer: QBE
In order to establish whether a Rotary project or activity is covered under the liability policy, QBE requires certain documentation to be completed and submitted to the DIO prior to the commencement of the project/activity.
There is an expectation by the insurer that this requirement shall be met so that coverage can be either confirmed or declined. In the event that QBE declines to provide cover, such an event should be either abandoned or separate cover (for additional premium) obtained. Under no circumstances should an event be conducted without public liability insurance
This plan requires all District Officers to support clubs to adhere to the insurer’s request to minimise risk exposure.
This plan requires each club to have a responsible officer to ensure the procedure becomes a standard club process.
Clubs should familiarise themselves with the following documents, all of which are available on this district website through the links below.
A. Documentation required prior to the commencement of an activity:
A I. Rotary Insurance Pro Forma
This document serves as a preliminary request to have a particular event covered.
A II. Risk Management form
A document which asks for specific details and history of an activity, including persons involved, and details of applicable third parties.
A III. Risk Management Check list
A check list to assist in the minimisation of risk exposure before the event is commenced.
A IV. Disclaimer
As the liability policy excludes claims arising from “participation”, a signed release from participants is required.
B. Documentation required in the event of an accident or claim
B I. QBE Incident Report
This form is to be completed for the DIO as soon as practicable following an incident.
B II. Claim form
Applicable claim form with supporting documentation is to be completed and forwarded to the DIO.
B III. RI Incident report
To be completed in respect of any YEP molestation event or alleged molestation event, and forwarded to RI within 72 hours.
