Important FAQs

Do I really need insurance?

Yes! As a self-employed Support Worker offering people support services, you do need insurance to protect yourself from any claims or unexpected scenario.

Am I covered through Kynd?

Once you’re a verified Support Pro, you’re able to start and know that you’re covered, subject to policy eligibility, inclusions and exclusions and our Terms of Use. You will not have cover for support booked or invoiced outside of Kynd.

Policy Information & Excess?

Support Workers are responsible for any excess payable on claims. Full policy information is available for Support Workers using Kynd. Please get in touch.

Can I organise extra cover?

If you’d like to obtain additional insurance cover for your specific personal needs, special or excluded activities, travel insurance, personal injury, income protection or anything else… as a Sole Trader Business, that’s your choice!

We encourage all NDIS Participants and Members to obtain their own insurance to provide cover in respect of any liability, including damage or loss to property and/or death of or injury to any person or Support Worker at your property, whether or not caused by you, a Support Worker or any third-party.

This may be a home and contents policy with the relevant liability extensions and/or a household workers policy in your state or other insurance policies.
