Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity Insurance
The AEA proudly provides Professional Indemnity Insurance to all members who are registered Paramedics. Registration of the Paramedic profession occurred on the 1st December 2018; with it comes the requirement for all paramedics Australia-wide to have Professional Indemnity Insurance.
