Insurance requirements may vary depending on how you practise. Members who are sole proprietors are typically responsible for obtaining their own Professional Liability Insurance and Commercial General Liability Insurance.
If you are employed by or contracted to a clinic, organization, or another practitioner, some or all of your insurance requirements may be covered under your employer’s or contractor’s policy. However, it is your responsibility to verify that you have appropriate coverage for your professional practice and to ensure you meet CACHE’s insurance requirements.
If you are unsure what coverage is required for your practice, we recommend speaking with your insurance provider before purchasing a policy.
All practising CACHE members—including Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists, Registered Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapists, Associate Members, and Student Members who are actively seeing clients—are required to maintain both Professional Liability Insurance and Commercial General Liability Insurance and provide proof of coverage as part of their CACHE membership application.
If you already have insurance that meets CACHE’s requirements, simply submit your certificate of insurance with your membership application and supporting documentation.
If you do not currently have insurance, CACHE has partnered with insurance providers that offer coverage to eligible members. Once you have arranged the appropriate coverage, please submit your certificate of insurance as part of your application.
As part of CACHE’s commitment to supporting its members, we have established partnerships with the following insurance providers to assist eligible applicants and members in obtaining Professional Liability Insurance and Commercial General Liability Insurance.
