Understanding Your Cover – Ivanhoe

Public Liability Insurance Explained

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

Without the right public liability cover, your Victoria business could be directly liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most industries also require proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

Public liability insurance in Victoria typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your Victoria business premises or job site
  • Client property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Victoria


Without public liability cover for your Victoria business, your company may be personally liable for substantial out-of-pocket costs, 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.
