Childcare-tailored Insurance

Insurance Solutions for Childcare Centres

Howden has partnered with Early Learning Solutions to develop a unique offering for individuals and organisations that provide early childhood education, care or related services.

Coverage Offering

Designed to support trust members, this trust backed by HDI Global SE offers comprehensive Industrial Special Risks coverage, great value and a hassle-free quoting and renewal process.

Discretionary Trust

A discretionary trust is a trust where members continue to the fund that is managed by a trustee (Alternative Risk Management Services Pty Ltd). The fund exists to cover claims made under the trust, purchase insurance and cover the costs of establishing and maintaining the trust. Plus, when claims arise, the insurance provides an extra layer of protection for peace of mind!

How the Trust works

Everyday claims are paid by the Trust, funded by a portion of your contributions:

  • if you are a member of the trust, you can make a claim for any event under the trust;  
  • larger claims will be referred to the trusts insurer, HDI Global SE; and
  • any surplus in the trust fund will be disbursed for the benefit of the majority of members.
Industrial Special Risks Policy (Property Insurance) Policy Highlights:
  • cover for Fire & Perils, Water Damage & Flood;  
  • cover for Machinery Breakdown & Spoilage of Stock;
  • cover for Accidental Damage, Malicious Damage & Theft; and
  • cover for Business Interruption.

The structure of the program supports the industry by re-investing savings to offset against rising insurance costs.
