UTS hires facilities to various non-UTS parties and the hirer is required to  have public liability insurance. The minimum sum insured should be at least  $5,000,000  and name UTS as an insured party. 

Commercial organisations and incorporated associations are expected to have their own public liability insurance (this is a requirement for an association to become and remain incorporated).  Evidence of insurance should be provided to the UTS employee responsible for hiring the facilities.

The policy does not cover liabilities arising from:

• registered motor vehicles
• aircraft and watercraft
• building work exceeding $10,000 in value
• pollution
• property in the custody or control of the insured

The hirer is obliged to promptly provide UTS with full details of any incidents which may result in a claim, and to provide all such other information as may reasonably be required by either UTS or the insurers.
