Why do Stall holders need Insurance?
Market day rolls around in the blink of an eye when you’re a Stallholder. But while you’re focused on setting up your stall & display in the best possible way, sometimes it doesn’t take a lot for things to go wrong. Whether your stall sells arts, clothing, accessories or books, the likelihood of a mishap is always present, and some unfortunate incidents can cost your organisation significantly.
For example, a member of the public may allege your stall display, or an item from your stall caused them an injury, or damaged their property. That’s why it’s important to hold appropriate insurance for your stall before you attend a market event. Without adequate insurance, you might find yourself with some substantial out of pocket expenses if an unfortunate incident does occur.

Frequently Asked Questions
My stall type isn’t listed above, can I still get insurance?
If your type of stall isn’t listed above, we may still be able to arrange cover for you. Simply give our team a call, and we may be able to assist you.
How do I find out what insurance I need?
The insurance you need will vary depending on the field you're in, and you may need more than one policy. At a minimum, you're likely to require Public Liability Insurance if you'll be conducting activities in public and interacting with third parties. You can speak to our team to help you understand what insurances you may or may not need.
What insurance might I need for fundraising events?
If you’re holding a fundraiser event, there are a few insurances you may need to consider. Public and Products Liability insurance would be one of the most important ones, but in addition to taking this out for your organisation, you’ll also need to ensure any stallholders such as ride operators and food stalls have their own Public Liability insurance in place. If your event will have volunteers, then you may also need to consider Volunteer Workers’ Personal Accident insurance. If you’re unsure of the insurance you need for your event, Aon’s NFP Insurance Puzzle Helper may help you decide. You can also speak to a member of Aon’s Not-For-Profit team by calling 1800 123 266.
How do I make a claim?
You will find details of how to make a claim in the policy wording you receive from us. However, we also appreciate that having to make a claim can be a stressful time which is why, as your advocate, we are always on hand to help with any questions. You can notify a claim or circumstance by calling Aon on 1800 123 266, emailing [email protected], or writing to Aon at PO Box 1331, Parramatta, 2124.
What if I need to make a change to my policy?
It is important to keep your policy up to date with the changing shape of your work but also to keep your business and personal information up to date in the event of a claim. Should your business circumstances have changed, for example you have changed the services that you offer and you are not sure if your existing insurance covers your new business activities then you can always call one of our experienced friendly brokers to discuss on 1800 123 266.
How do I renew my policy?
Your renewal offer, schedule and tax invoice will be emailed to you approximately 30 days before your renewal date. Please ensure you review the details of our offer carefully (remember pricing and coverage levels may have changed so it is important to review). If you are happy with the offer and wish to accept, simply make payment by the date specified on the tax invoice.
