Every trade stall operator and vendor MUST have their own Public Liability Insurance coverage for at least $10M valid for Show Day.
The Australian Government Business site has all the details you need to know about operating a market or trade stall.
Applications cannot be accepted without evidence of coverage which will be required to be uploaded during the application process. Unfortunately this situation is beyond the Ag Society's control and waivers or exemptions are not possible.
Examples of available policies can be found by searching for "1 day market stall insurance Australia". Coverage is available for third party injuries and property damage, and also for product liabilities. If you are a prospective vendor or stall holder please make sure you have appropriate coverage in place for 31 October 2026 before starting the application process. Most 1-day policies on the market are available for around $50.
