In October 2016 we re- launched the facility under the banner of "SSAA Members Firearms Insurance" offering exactly the same benefits as the original launch. In the first nine months 20,950 members took up the offer and insured their firearms for $25,000 for just $25 per annum through their SSAA Membership and so far to the end of April 2018 we have 55,849 members with the cover in place. As you are probably aware the cover is placed with QBE Insurance and I am happy to report they have given tremendous service and support to our members that have been unlucky enough to claim. We announced in the May '18 Australian Shooter that the premium has been increased to $30 per annum and from 1st July 2018 the following endorsements will apply to the cover – Cover will not be available; • For theft where the equipment was not stored in an approved gun safe as required by State or Territory authority, other than when the equipment is in use or away from the Insured's premises. • Where the Insured or any person or entity to whom the equipment has been entrusted to fails to comply with any law relating to either storage, use or handling of the equipment. • Notwithstanding anything in the Policy Wording or schedule to the contrary it is agreed and declared that this policy does not cover any loss or damage to unaccompanied customers goods, whether in the course of or awaiting transit, during loading or unloading, or being held in storage. • Where the damage has resulted from maintenance of the gun. • Replacement value for any Interest Insured up to 5 years old. For any Interest Insured over 5 years the settlement will be indemnity only. • For scratching and chipping of stocks. Even taking into account these changes I am very confident in saying that the SSAA Members Firearms Insurance is still the most cost effective way of insuring your firearms in Australia. The cover now cost $30 per year and provides accidental loss or damage cover including whilst in use and the excess is only $100. If you have any queries in relation to the SSAA Members Firearms Insurance, or any other insurance matters please call either myself or the brokerage on 1800 808 608 (from a landline only).
