By Rod Farrell We are very proud to announce that the COA Farm Stay/ Private Camp Public Liability Insurance Program has been secured. With the program COA acts as a qualifying gatekeeper. Once you affiliate your farm stay camp or private camp, it is then eligible to buy its own individual, full-spectrum insurance policy from the COA partner broker. The farm stay/ private camp fills out its own proposal form, detailing its specific assets (cabins, amenities, equipment, etc).
The policy is issued in the farm stay/ private camp's own name, allowing it to operate as an independent legal entity. The resulting policy is a full insurance contract between the farm stay/ private camp and the insurer. The farm stay/ private camp operates independently, but it "unlocks" the specialised, low-cost rate by being a COA affiliate. Any form of farm stay/ private camp whether classed as a dry camp or wet camp can apply.
The COA Farm Stay/ Private Camp Membership process is as follows:
1. Apply and pay for COA Farm Stay/ Private Camp Membership;
2. Once membership is approved we'll send you a link to the COA Farm Stay/ Private Camp Proposal Form to complete and submit;
3. Our insurer will get back to you usually within a week or so with an affordable quote.
The COA Farm Stay/ Private Camp insurance program can be accessed when you become a COA Program Member.
At the Motorsport Association Australia (MAA), we believe that local car clubs, 4WD associations, and enthusiast hubs are the true beating heart of the Australian automotive community. Our Community Club Program is engineered specifically to support not-for-profit leisure, competitive, and recreation organizations that cater to grassroots automotive activities for enthusiasts of all ages.
This program is completely inclusive of all forms of automotive clubs—whether you run competitive time attacks, social track days, remote 4WD trail runs, classic car show-and-shines, or community workshop meets—operating across sealed circuits, unsealed dirt tracks, or public road networks.
The MAA Community Club Program acts as a professional facilitation gateway. We enable your local club to access specialized, institutional-grade motorsport and asset insurance typically reserved exclusively for massive national sporting bodies, all while maintaining your club's absolute operational independence.
By affiliating with the MAA framework and completing our streamlined safety check, your club unlocks direct access to our licensed partner broker pipelines to secure its own individual, full-spectrum, APRA-regulated insurance policy.
Total Operational Independence: The policy is issued directly in your club's own legal name. Your club operates as a completely independent entity, managing its own calendar, membership fees, and track schedules while enjoying the protection of a robust contract between the club and the insurer—entirely free from restrictive sporting monopolies.
Specialized, Low-Cost Rates: By aligning with the MAA national safety network, your club unlocks access to highly competitive insurance rates achieved through our collective national bargaining power.
Tailored Asset & Liability Coverage: Through our partner broker network, your club fills out its own custom profile. You detail your exact assets—whether that includes a local clubhouse, timing equipment, recovery gear, track infrastructure, or club plates—ensuring your coverage fits your exact risk profile without paying for unnecessary fluff.
Access to the MAA Community Club insurance program is a direct benefit for verified MAA Program Members. We make the qualification process simple:
Become an MAA Affiliate Member: To initiate the process, a club committee member or representative simply registers the organization within the MAA framework.
Submit Your Club Profile: You provide a brief overview of your club’s activities, membership size, and typical event types (e.g., social cruises, dirt track trials, or track days).
WHS Safety Alignment: We assist you in aligning your club's event guidelines with our baseline MAA National Safety Standards to ensure smooth underwriting.
Connect with Our Partner Broker: Once certified, you deal directly with our specialized insurance broker representatives to finalize your individual policies, including Public Liability, Club Asset Protection, Event/Meeting Insurance, and Member Personal Accident covers.
We believe that grassroots recreation should build a stronger society. The Motorsport Association Australia (MAA) proudly operates as a professional division of the COA Housing, Driver and Rider Road Safety Charity.
All program affiliation fees are managed within a strict, secure non-profit structure. 100% of the operational surpluses generated through this club division are directly deployed by the charity to build debt-free, long-term, affordable accommodation for regional Australian families and essential workers experiencing housing distress.
When your club works with the MAA, you aren't just protecting your club's assets and securing your events—you are actively helping to build a solid foundation for those in our regional communities who need it most.
Stop overpaying for insurance or bowing to restrictive sports administrative monopolies just to keep your club active. Let's protect your assets, slash your overheads, and keep your community moving forward.
Racing for a Reason: MAA proudly operates in partnership with the MAA Driver Safety Charity. Driven by a commitment to make a tangible difference on and off the track, all money raised through this MAA division directly funds grassroots driver education, advanced car control, and life-saving safety training initiatives across Australia. When you work with us, you aren't just protecting your business and securing your drive—you are actively helping to equip drivers with essential road skills and ensuring everyone makes the journey home safely.
