Reply With QuoteI suggest you look to the massage colleges to see who underwrites their insurance. I am sure you would be able to buy the same premium from their insurers at a reasonable price.

Hi.
I am a 4th year physio student at Sydney University, and have been asked to become a massage therapist at a private practice, that I have previously attended for work experience.
Does anybody from Australia know of any insurers that would cover a 4th year student already with experience?? I am running out of options and feel if I don't find any, I will miss out on a great opportunity to kick-start my career.
Any hints or previous experiences related to this would be extremely helpful!

You should be able to get professional indemnity insurance from a private company (though it might be on the pricey side!), I assume the australian physio assocation insures you as a student? It might be worth checking out if it also includes you working "off placement", I know in the UK our student insurance doesn't but maybe it's different in Aus.
