Understanding Your Cover – Chermside

Understanding Public Liability Insurance

Public liability cover safeguards your business throughout Queensland when a customer, supplier, or member of the public sustains personal injury or property damage as a result of your business operations, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability cover, your Queensland business could be directly liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Businesses across Queensland also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

A public liability policy in Queensland generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability cover for your Queensland business, your company may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, with no safety net to fall back on.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Public liability insurance is not legally mandatory for all businesses in Australia, but many commercial leases, client contracts, government tenders and industry licences require businesses to hold a minimum level of cover before operating. 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.
