SWEP and Blue Badge have partnered to create a product that will protect scooter and wheelchair users against accidental loss and damage, third party property damage and third party personal injury.
The insurance will cost scooter users just $105 per annum and wheelchair users (both manual and electric) from $155 per annum, depending on the cost of their chair.
SWEP has always recommended that clients take out insurance for their equipment, but until now there hasn't been a policy that was both comprehensive and affordable. Clients will now have access to a product that protects them against accidents and other unexpected events through Blue Badge Insurance.
The insurance, which is underwritten by Lloyd's, is not compulsory and is available initially only for SWEP clients in Victoria. This product became available to SWEP clients on 1 September 2015.
