Understanding Your Cover – Pooraka

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover covers your business in South Australia when a customer, supplier, or member of the public sustains property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business operations, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

Without the right public liability cover, your company could be held financially responsible for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most industries also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Public liability insurance in South Australia typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability cover for your South Australia business, your business may be personally liable for substantial out-of-pocket costs, leaving your business financially vulnerable.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Public liability insurance is not legally mandatory for all businesses in Australia, but many commercial leases, client contracts, government tenders and industry licences require businesses to hold a minimum level of cover before operating. Even where it is not mandatory, it provides essential protection against costly third-party injury or property damage claims.

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.

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.
Public liability premiums for Pooraka businesses are not one-size-fits-all, pricing depends on several key factors. These include your industry type, annual turnover, number of employees, the nature of your work, and the level of cover you choose.
