Mandatory Professional Indemnity Insurance Coverage for All Registered Counsellors
All Registered Counsellors (RC) are required to maintain valid Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance coverage as a condition of registration with the SAC Register of Counsellors.
In accordance with Rule 5.5.1 of the SAC Constitution:
“All registrants must show evidence of professional indemnity coverage when they apply for new registration or renew their registration with the SAC Register of Counsellors.”
To satisfy this requirement, members may either:
- Be covered under SAC’s group PI insurance policy; or
- Hold an equivalent individual or employer-sponsored PI insurance policy, in which case a completed PI insurance Exemption Form and supporting documents must be submitted to the Secretariat.
Failure to maintain valid PI insurance coverage or submit the required documentation will result in removal from the SAC Register of Counsellors.
