Understanding Your Cover – Mount Cotton

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability insurance covers your business across Queensland when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public suffers property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business activities, whether at your Queensland premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability cover, your company could be personally liable for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that can easily reach six figures. Many industries also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

Your public liability cover in Queensland can include:

  • Slips, trips and falls at your Queensland business premises or job site
  • Property damage caused by you or your team
  • Third-party injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Queensland business, your business may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
