Australian arts industry bodies: give us a UK-style insurance scheme
Live music and entertainment industry bodies APRA AMCOS, ARIA,
PPCA, Live Performance Australia, Live Entertainment Industry
Forum and the Australian Festival Association have called for the
adoption of a government-backed insurance scheme, designed to
provide certainty for the Australian live music and entertainment
sector, in line with an announcement from the UK Government
yesterday. The Live Events Reinsurance Scheme is a partnership
between the UK Government and Lloyd's of London insurers, with
government guaranteeing policies issued by commercial insurers to
live events that are open to the general public, including
festivals and business events.
The announcement of the scheme in the UK follows similar
government-backed insurance and business interruption funds
established for the live music and entertainment sectors in
Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and
Estonia.
