As a natural therapist, your work is rooted in compassion and care, with your primary focus always on the well-being of your clients. You’ve dedicated your career to helping others heal and improve their lives, perfecting your craft along the way. However, running a successful practice means there are responsibilities that can take time away from what matters most. One of these tasks is researching the right insurance—something that can feel overwhelming and time-consuming.
To make this process easier, ANTA has developed a Professional Indemnity Insurance policy through Guild Insurance, specifically tailored for qualified natural therapists. This policy not only covers the professional and legal responsibilities unique to your practice but also ensures you’re meeting the requirements for health fund registration (for applicable modalities). With this solution, you can spend less time searching for insurance and more time focusing on your clients.
Here are five key benefits of Guild Insurance tailored for ANTA members that every natural therapist should know.
1. Tailored Insurance Solutions for Natural Therapists
Your work as a natural therapist is unique, and so are the potential risks associated with your profession. Finding a one-size-fits-all insurance policy that truly covers your specific needs can be a challenge. That’s why Guild Insurance has developed a Professional Indemnity Insurance policy designed specifically for natural therapists. It’s not just about protecting your business; it’s about providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re covered.
No matter your modality—whether it’s remedial massage, acupuncture, or naturopathy—this insurance ensures you’re fully protected in the areas that matter most to your profession. You won’t need to spend hours searching for the right policy; it’s all been carefully designed for you.
Why it matters: You can continue focusing on your clients, knowing that the complexities of insurance have been handled by experts who understand your profession.
2. Comprehensive Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Cover
Professional Indemnity Insurance is essential for protecting natural therapists from claims of negligence, errors, or omissions. As a natural therapist, you work hard to help your clients, but mistakes can happen. Guild Insurance ensures that if a client claims your professional advice or treatment caused harm or financial loss, you’re covered.
The policy also includes Public and Products Liability insurance, with a minimum of $20 million, ensuring you’re protected if any third-party injuries or property damage occur as a result of your business activities.
Why it matters: This coverage allows you to carry out your practice confidently, knowing that if the unexpected happens, you have the support and protection you need.
3. Streamlined Claims Process for Quick Resolution
In the unfortunate event that you need to make a claim, Guild Insurance makes the process as easy as possible. They understand that you already have enough on your plate running a practice, so the last thing you need is a complicated, drawn-out claims process. With Guild, you can lodge your claim online or over the phone, and you’ll be contacted by a claims specialist within 48 hours to help you through every step.
Once your claim is submitted, you’ll receive a unique claim number to track your claim status easily. This personal touch is one of the many reasons professionals feel secure and supported with Guild Insurance.
Why it matters: The simplicity and speed of the claims process mean you can get back to focusing on your clients rather than being bogged down by paperwork.
