ABCRA Campdraft Cattle Reserve Fund
The ABCRA Campdraft Cattle reserve fund has been established to mitigate the financial loss for committees and cattle donors/hirers due to the death or injury of livestock used at ABCRA affiliated events.
Livestock used in competitive events have never been covered by any insurance and still aren’t. The ABCRA Cattle reserve fund is to assist committees in covering the loss of animals in competition only (Care, custody & control). The ABCRA is the only association that assists committees with these losses.
Protection for a committee commences when the committee or its agent takes delivery of the cattle and ceases on the return of the livestock back into the care of the owner. (e.g. when unloaded and received at the event facilities or once loaded at the event facilities to go home).
Cattle may travel by Truck or be walked from the owner’s property to the Campdraft ground.
Exclusions from the fund are cattle involved in trucking accidents that occur between the cattle owners’ property and the Campdraft ground. Carriers must provide insurance coverage for accidents and rollover as defined in the Marine Insurance cover or indemnify the committee and ABCRA against any loss that occurs whilst in the possession or control of the carrier. Any loss that is or should be covered by Marine insurance by the carrier. Any costs associated with the disposal of deceased or injured animals.
This fund is not an insurance policy. The administration of the scheme is at the discretion of the ABCRA. Contributions to the fund do not of themselves create a liability or commitment of ABCRA to approve a payout in every case or any particular case.
Insurance
Find all the links below to the ABCRA’s insurance documents, constitution, key policies and procedures, as well as and the latest ABCRA Financial Report.
Ambulance Cover
ABCRA’s insurance policies DO NOT include any Ambulance cover. ALL Competitors and ALL Personnel involved with ABCRA sanctioned events are strongly advised to take out their own private Ambulance Cover.
Some members will have some level of Ambulance cover included with their Private Health Insurance and we urge those members to double-check the level that the cover provides. Some covers do not view a broken arm or leg as a Category 1 incident and therefore transportation by Ambulance is not covered. Category 1 incidents are defined as serious or life-threatening.
Again, we urge ALL Competitors and Members to ensure that they are adequately covered in the event that they require transportation by any form of Ambulance.
Stock Contractors
Please note, that as paid contractors at an ABCRA sanctioned event, Stock Contractors and their Personnel are NOT covered under ABCRA’s Personal Accident and Public Liability Policies. We strongly recommend that all Stock Contractors secure Public Liability cover for at least $20 million and Personal Accident cover for themselves and their staff.
Protection Clowns, Comedy Clowns and Pick Up Personnel
ABCRA approved Arena Personnel which includes Judges, Chute Bosses, Gate Pullers, Protection Athletes, Comedy Clowns and Pick Up Riders while performing their duties ARE covered by ABCRA’s Personal Accident and Public Liability Insurances.
