Insurance
VMSA strongly recommends that all sheds maintain a current insurance policy. While we emphasize the importance of insurance, we do not provide specific advice or recommendations regarding which insurance policy, broker, or company to choose, as we are not licensed financial service advisors.
Just as you would with personal insurance products, it is essential for each shed to conduct its own research, perform due diligence, and compare options. We encourage sheds to seek independent advice if needed to determine which insurance product best aligns with their unique requirements, circumstances, and budget.
Insurance Recommendations for Men’s Sheds
We encourage all sheds to maintain a current insurance policy. While we can’t endorse specific insurers, here are a few options commonly used by Victorian Men’s Sheds:
- Jobs Australia (via Marsh Insurance)
- Everest Insurance (via the Australian Men’s Shed Association)
- Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) (available only to auspiced sheds funded by the Victorian Government)
- Gallagher’s – currently exiting the Men’s Shed Insurance program
Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and other options may be available. Presently, Jobs Australia via Marsh Insurance and Everest via AMSA are the primary insurers for many sheds.
