  • the self-employed
  • members who don’t work under a contract of employment (such as agency or bank workers)
  • volunteers, and
  • those acting in a Good Samaritan capacity.

However, it's very important that you check the terms and conditions as outlined in our comprehensive terms and conditions document. 

There’s no need to pay anything extra. RCN indemnity is included in your membership fee, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
