Understanding Your Cover – Riverstone

Understanding Public Liability Insurance

Public liability cover shields your business throughout New South Wales when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public sustains property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business activities, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability insurance, your business could be directly liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that could devastate your business finances. Most industries also require proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

Public liability insurance in New South Wales typically covers:

  • Slips, trips and falls on your property or a client’s site
  • Client property damage arising from your operations
  • Personal injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability cover in New South Wales, your company may be personally liable for significant financial losses, with no safety net to fall back on.

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.
