Understanding Your Cover – Fernvale

Public Liability Insurance Explained

Public liability cover protects your business in Queensland when a customer, supplier, or member of the public experiences injury or property damage as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your Queensland premises, a job site, or a public location.

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

Public liability insurance in Queensland typically covers:

  • Slips, trips and falls at your premises or worksite
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Bodily injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability insurance in Queensland, your company may be personally liable for substantial out-of-pocket costs, putting everything you’ve built at risk.

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.
