Event Cancellation Insurance

So, what would you do if your event had to be cancelled, postponed or abandoned unexpectedly and beyond your control?

Event Cancellation Insurance can help protect your organisation’s financial investment in community based events, festivals and conferences.

 

Protect against the unexpected: A wise investment for event organisers

Whatever the event, we recognise the commitment and expense involved in delivering a great experience for your communities.

Should adverse weather or other unforeseen circumstances beyond your control cause the necessary cancellation, abandonment, postponement or interruption of your event, this policy can help cover any financial loss suffered by your organisation as a result.

This is where Event Cancellation can help protect your organisation's financial investment in community-based events.

When should you take out Event Cancellation Insurance? 

This type of insurance is typically suitable for events with a budget of $30,000 or more, and it may be more affordable than you expect.
 
As a general guideline, it is advisable to secure Event Cancellation coverage at least 2 to 3 months before your event.

Local Community Insurance Services (LCIS) is a division of JLT Risk Solutions Pty Ltd (ABN 69 009 098 864 AFS Licence No: 226827) (“JLT”) and is a business of Marsh McLennan. This insurance is issued via this website by JLT Risk Solutions Pty Ltd (ABN 69 009 098 864 AFS Licence No: 226827) (“JLT”) under an authority to bind cover on behalf of the insurer. In issuing and underwriting this insurance, JLT acts as agent of the insurer and not as your agent. 

If JLT cannot issue insurance to you as an agent of an insurer because the underwriting information you have provided means that the insurable risk falls outside of our Binding Authority, JLT can instead arrange your insurance on the open market as your agent. In this instance, JLT will be acting in a dual capacity, as an agent for the insurer in collecting the information and then as your agent in arranging the insurance. JLT will also be acting in such a dual capacity in circumstances where you have obtained multiple insurance policies through JLT, where some of those policies have been issued by JLT as agent of an insurer and others have been arranged by JLT as your agent. All insurance coverage is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the applicable individual policies. JLT cannot provide any assurance that insurance can be obtained for any particular client or for any particular risk.
