Understanding Your Cover – Gailes

What is Public Liability Cover?

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

Without public liability insurance, your company could be held financially responsible for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that can easily reach six figures. Businesses across Queensland also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Public liability insurance in Queensland typically covers:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your Queensland business premises or job site
  • Property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Third-party injury claims stemming from your work
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability cover in Queensland, your business may be personally liable for significant financial losses, with no safety net to fall back on.

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.
