CivicRisk Mutual
Protection Programs

Councils are at the forefront of communities, managing the day-to-day requirements of local government and providing essential services for their residents. The financial security of councils is an important part of their ability to provide these services. As such, it’s vital that you have the right protection in place to reduce uncertainty and make losses more manageable.

At CivicRisk Mutual, we offer a range of protection programs that can be tailored to suit each member’s needs. In addition, our members enjoy rights to the surplus of their contributions once all claims and administration costs are paid.

What We Offer

Our group protection plan offers a combination of self-insured, group insurance and risk management support. This approach makes sure that you have the right amount of coverage for your needs and protects your municipality against any unexpected risks.

Why CivicRisk Mutual?

We ensure our members receive value for their money by developing creative, strategic solutions that leverage bulk purchasing power. Moreover, we only seek to obtain the cover required to ensure member satisfaction — money will never be wasted.

In addition, we offer our members funding grants and discretionary provisions for coverage when insurance is unavailable. When members have an issue, CivicRisk Mutual will provide support, and when members have a claim, the Mutual pays.
