The MAIA offers the most comprehensive and cost effective insurance coverage in the market today however to access this insurance you must be an MAIA member who is an "Accredited Instructor".

Insuring only 'accredited' people is common practice in many other industries and it is done by insurers as it provides them with a greater level of 'quality control' by ensuring that verifiable minimum industry standards are met.

Insurers have found that 'accredited instructors' are a much less likely to make claims as they operate in a more professional manner by adhering to the appropriate Industry Codes. This in turn means lower premiums for those involved in the program.

For insurance purposes Accreditation is defined as:

"An accredited instructor is recognised as accredited if the instructor is bound by the National Code of Practice for Martial Arts Instructors and carries appropriate levels of public liability and professional indemnity insurance and

i) is an accredited instructor with the National Martial Arts Instructors Accreditation Scheme (administered by the Martial Arts Industry Association Inc.) or

ii) is an accredited instructor with the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (administered by the Australian Sports Commission) "

In the current climate any instructor that is uninsured is both foolish and unprofessional.
