WORK EXPERIENCE INSURANCE

This insurance is here to support home-educated students who are volunteering for work experience. It offers personal accident coverage, though the amount is limited. To qualify, the parent or guardian needs be a current SHEN member, and the student should be volunteering.

Please note that public liability insurance isn’t included with this SHEN coverage; the employer needs to have their own.

It’s important for parents or guardians to understand the coverage and any exclusions. If you have any questions, feel free to email shen@shen.org.au.
