Frequently Asked Questions

What type of insurance do lactation consultants need?

Lactation consultants need professional indemnity insurance to protect against claims of negligence, errors, or omissions while providing services. This coverage ensures that you are protected if a client claims that your advice or treatment caused harm. Additionally, general liability insurance is essential to cover third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage that may occur during consultations.

Is professional indemnity insurance mandatory for lactation consultants in Australia?

While professional indemnity insurance is not legally required for lactation consultants in Australia, it is highly recommended. Having this insurance offers financial protection in case of claims made against you for professional negligence or errors. It also enhances your credibility and may be a requirement for working in certain healthcare settings or with other professionals.

Can I get lactation consultant insurance without being an IICT member?

No, to access tailored insurance for lactation consultants, you must first become an IICT member. IICT membership grants you access to the IICT Member Insurance Program, which offers insurance specifically designed to protect lactation consultants in Australia and internationally.
