GROUP INSURANCE
How Does A Group Insurance Scheme Work?
- Group insurance is where a group of organisations who have something in common other than the purpose of obtaining insurance are able to purchase insurance together.
- To save administrative costs, there is a Master Policy Holder (LLCQ) who retains the documentation on behalf of the members, and may deal with the members on behalf of the insurer
- Community based, not for profit organisations are better able to manage risk through a cost effective Group Insurance Scheme.
- LLCQ has managed a Coverforce scheme since 2001, providing affordable insurance options to a broad range of not for profit organisations. The scheme currently provides insurance for more than 50 organisations across Queensland.
Benefits of Group Insurance

- Insurance designed for your organisation: The covers available are designed for adult education, learning and training programs as well as a range of community activities and services
- Support adult and community learning: In joining the scheme, your management fee is directed into promoting, advocating and supporting adult and community learning across Queensland. LLCQ does not receive commissions.
