Understanding Your Cover – Shelley

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability insurance covers your business across Western Australia when a client, contractor, or third party suffers injury or property damage as a result of your business operations, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

Without public liability cover, your Western Australia business could be held financially responsible for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Businesses across Western Australia also demand proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

A public liability policy in Western Australia generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents on your property or a client’s site
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Third-party injury claims stemming from your work
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability cover in Western Australia, your company may be personally liable for devastating financial consequences, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
