Understanding Your Cover – Fernvale

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability insurance covers your business across Fernvale when a customer, supplier, or member of the public experiences property damage or bodily injury as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

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

Your public liability cover in Fernvale can include:

  • Slips, trips and falls at your premises or worksite
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Fernvale


Without public liability cover for your Fernvale business, your business may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, with no safety net to fall back on.

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.
