VFF Farm Tree & Landcare Association Roles
The VFF Farm Tree & Landcare Association (FTLA) is an incorporated association established by The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) in 1986. The Association has evolved to cater for groups and individuals involved in Landcare, tree planting and similar land management and conservation activities.
The VFF through the FTLA is able to provide support and services to help reduce the administrative demands on the volunteer office bearers of Member Groups.
The FTLA does not interfere in the day to day running of Member Groups. The Rules of the Association allow Groups to create their own rules for the administration of a Member Group’s affairs and activities.
The FTLA acts as an umbrella body under which Member Groups obtain the benefits of incorporation. Member Groups are released of the statutory burdens that go with being an incorporated association.
Membership under the FTLA umbrella satisfies the need to be incorporated so as to be eligible to receive government and other sources of grants and funding.
Member Groups must act as members of the FTLA in order to be protected by the FTLA incorporation.
INSURANCEIncorporation, however, will not protect a Member Group or its members from the consequences of their own negligence. Insurance provides a safety net against liabilities arising from negligence including the means to defend a claim.
The insurance package sourced for FTLA Member Groups is comprised of three components:
1.Public and Products Liability Insurance
Covers personal injury or property damage arising from the negligent actions of a Member Group or its members
2.Personal Accident Insurance
Provides for payments where a volunteer, a worker or a member is injured while engaged in activities for a Member Group.
3.Associations Liability Insurance
·Professional Indemnity
·Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
·Association Reimbursement
·Entity Insurance
Provides protection for office bearers and employees in the course of carrying out their duties on behalf of their organisation.
VICTORIAN LANDCARE MAGAZINE
All members of FTLA Member Groups receive the Victorian Landcare
magazine. The magazine is the premier Landcare publication circulated
in Victoria
