Understanding Your Cover – Ultimo

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover protects your business throughout Ultimo 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 Ultimo premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without the right public liability cover, your Ultimo business could be directly liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that can easily reach six figures. Most industries also demand proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

A public liability policy in Ultimo generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your Ultimo business premises or job site
  • Damage to a client’s property arising from your operations
  • Personal injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Ultimo


Without public liability insurance for your Ultimo business, your company may be exposed for significant financial losses, putting everything you’ve built at risk.
