Welcome to Duck!

Duck is a not-for-profit association set up to provide Public Liability and other insurance policies for our performer and artist members. We’ve been going since 1998 with the goal of providing the best rates we can for all our members, no matter how long you’ve been with us. (No ‘introductory’ rates that disappear later.) We have over 21,000 members who use Duck each year to help with their insurance needs.

The Public Liability rates for both individuals and groups will be reduced on 12th January 2024 in recognition of the shorter time on the policy. (All our policies have a common end date of 12th October 2024.)

From the 12th January 2024:

Public Liability will be $69 for Category 1 and/or Category 2. Category 3 will be $93.
Public Liability for groups will reduce to $259.

 
In the spirit of reconciliation, Duck for Cover acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
