Understanding Your Cover – Ouyen

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability cover safeguards your business across Ouyen when a customer, supplier, or member of the public suffers injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

  • Slips, trips and falls at your premises or worksite
  • Damage to a client’s property arising from your operations
  • Third-party injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal fees and court costs

  • Claims arising from offsite work across Ouyen
