All Crown land managers (CLMs) must have adequate insurance. To assist eligible CLMs and their members manage Crown reserves, the department provides insurance at no cost through the Treasury Managed Fund (TMF).

CLMs eligible for TMF cover are those managed by a statutory land manager. Corporations may be eligible under some circumstances, and councils are not eligible.

The insurance covers:

• property damage
• liability (including public and products liability, professional indemnity and directors and officers liability)
• personal accident insurance for volunteer workers.

Conditions and exclusions apply, and insurance cover is not provided for any illegal, high-risk or commercial activities.

CLMs that are not eligible for cover through the department must obtain, at their own cost, adequate insurance cover for property, employees, volunteers and liability.
