Understanding Your Cover – Broadford

Public Liability Insurance Explained

Public liability insurance protects your business in Victoria when a customer, supplier, or member of the public experiences injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability cover, your business could be personally liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that could devastate your business finances. Businesses across Victoria also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

Public liability insurance in Victoria typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Third-party injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Victoria


Without public liability cover in Victoria, your business may be personally liable for substantial out-of-pocket costs, leaving your business financially vulnerable.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Even where it is not mandatory, it provides essential protection against costly third-party injury or property damage claims.

The level of public liability insurance required depends on your industry, risk exposure, turnover and contractual obligations. Most small businesses choose between 5 million, 10 million or 20 million dollars in cover. Higher-risk industries such as construction often require 20 million dollars, while lower-risk service providers may only require 5 million dollars.

No. Public liability insurance covers claims made by third parties for injury or property damage caused by business activities. Employee injuries are generally covered under workers compensation insurance, which is a separate and legally required policy in Australia.
