Understanding Your Cover – Oyster Bay

Public Liability Insurance Explained

Public liability insurance shields your business throughout Oyster Bay when a customer, supplier, or member of the public suffers personal 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 public liability cover, your business could be held financially responsible for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many industries also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Public liability insurance in Oyster Bay typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Personal 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 cover in Oyster Bay, your business may be exposed for devastating financial consequences, putting everything you’ve built at risk.

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.

The level of public liability insurance required depends on your industry, risk exposure, turnover and contractual obligations.

Higher-risk industries such as construction often require 20 million dollars, while lower-risk service providers may only require 5 million dollars.
