Cheaper insurance for members

The Buddhist Council has managed to secure a group public liability insurance policy for the Buddhist community providing low-cost effective insurance for not-for-profit Buddhist organisations that might not otherwise have been able to afford public liability insurance. The group policy saved participants an average of $680.00 on their existing policy.

The Buddhist Council is also looking at implementing a similar group policy for volunteers insurance.

Interested parties should direct their enquiries to Member Services.
