Understanding Your Cover – Victor Harbor

Understanding Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance shields your business throughout South Australia when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public sustains personal injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether at your South Australia premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability cover, your company could be held financially responsible for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that can easily reach six figures. Businesses across South Australia also require proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

Your public liability cover in South Australia can include:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your South Australia business premises or job site
  • Client 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
  • Claims arising from offsite work across South Australia


Without public liability insurance for your South Australia business, your company may be personally liable for devastating financial consequences, 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.
