Understanding Your Cover – Elsternwick

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability cover protects your business throughout Victoria when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public suffers 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 public liability insurance, 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 tender for work or operate legally.

Public liability insurance in Victoria typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your Victoria business premises or job site
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Third-party injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability cover for your Victoria business, your company may be personally liable for significant financial losses, putting everything you’ve built at risk.

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.
