Understanding Your Cover – Cardup

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability insurance shields your business throughout Western Australia when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public experiences property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business operations, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

Without the right public liability cover, your business could be directly liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that can easily reach six figures. Many industries also require proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

A public liability policy in Western Australia generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Damage to a client’s property arising from your operations
  • Personal injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Damages and compensation settlements
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Western Australia business, your company may be exposed for significant financial losses, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
