Duration of a policy 

A Scheme Agent must initiate a workers compensation policy immediately upon being contacted by an employer who doesn't have a current policy.

Cover is effective immediately upon contact by phone, fax, letter, or email.

When you take out a policy it will run for 12 months from the day you contact a Scheme Agent.

Call 13 10 50 for more information about the duration of a policy.
