In line with our statutory risk management mandate, the State Claims Agency provides risk management advice and assistance to delegated State authorities, on whose behalf we manage personal injury and third-party property damage claims. To help State authorities enhance employee safety and health, as well as to support the management of risk and mitigation of incidents and claims, our Enterprise Risk Management Unit may issue guidance in relation to indemnity and insurance.
New State Indemnity Guidance
This State Indemnity Guidance sets out risk and general indemnity advice for delegated State authorities who engage volunteers to perform tasks under its supervision, direction, and control. It answers key questions such as:
- Does the General Indemnity Scheme cover volunteers engaged by delegated State authorities?
- What should delegated State authorities take into consideration when engaging volunteers?
- What duties are volunteers permitted to carry out?
- What are the risk management considerations when engaging volunteers?
