Before renewing, we want to draw your attention to some changes to the APA Member Insurance (Professional indemnity and Public & Products Liability (PI&PPL)*) and APA Entity Insurance.
From 31 December 2024, the APA Member Insurance (PI&PPL) and APA Entity Insurance will no longer be insured with Certain Underwriters at Lloyds. Both policies will now be supported by AAI Ltd trading as Vero Insurance (Vero), a local provider with over 180 years of experience. Some policy changes have been made to reduce the amount of times you need to check in with BMS about your cover and you will notice a change to the policy end date.
Rest assured, there is no change to the limit of indemnity and aggregate limits:
| Professional Indemnity | Public and Products Liability |
| Limit of Indemnity: $20,000,000 | Limit of Indemnity: $20,000,000 |
| Maximum Aggregate Limit of Indemnity: $40,000,000 | Maximum Aggregate Limit of Indemnity: $40,000,000 |
For more information read the changes to your cover FAQ factsheet or visit the Insurance Changes FAQs webpage.
