10 Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) Inc. Ask Trevor SSAA Firearms Insurance What cover do I get under the SSAA Firearms Insurance? With SSAA Firearms Insurance you automatically receive $25,000 accidental loss or damage cover for your firearms and specified accessories. This is the basic cover and many of our members would have this already as part of their home and contents insurance, however the additional benefits in upgrading your membership are very very good and include up to 28 days per year worldwide cover if you are lucky enough to go on an international hunting holiday, cover whilst in use which is excluded by most home and contents policies and only a $100 excess applicable to a claim. How do I get the SSAA Firearms Insurance? The cost is only an extra $25 per year and can be paid with your membership renewal. But, you do not have to wait till your membership renewal to take out the insurance. If you want SSAA Firearms Insurance immediately you can contact the SSAA Membership Office and pay the $25 now for the remaining period through to your membership expiry date. Are my firearms covered if stored away from my home? Yes they are, as long as they are stored in accordance with state legislation. Do I need to list all my firearms to be covered? No, as long as at the time of the loss you have current SSAA Firearms Insurance, you are the registered owner of the firearm and the firearm was being stored in accordance with state legislation then you are covered. Obviously it goes without saying that if the firearm is being used illegally it is excluded. What if my firearms are worth $50,000? For your $25 you receive up to $25,000 cover regardless if that covers one, two or three individual firearms - $25,000 is the maximum cover. When does cover start? As soon as you pay the $25 dollars cover commences. This applies when your membership is due too, once the membership payment is received by SSAA then cover commences. If you take a month past your expiry date to pay your membership then your firearms would not be covered for that month. If I do have a claim what do I do? In the event of a claim you contact SSAA Insurance Brokers and we will assist you with a quick fair settlement from the underwriter. How do I know I have been accepted for the cover? Once you have taken the SSAA Firearms Insurance you are covered, it is a benefit of being a SSAA Member.
