Understanding Your Cover – Warrnambool

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability insurance protects your business in Victoria when a customer, supplier, or member of the public sustains property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business activities, whether at your Victoria premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability insurance, your business could be personally liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many industries also require proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

Public liability insurance in Victoria typically covers:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your premises or worksite
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Third-party injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Victoria


Without public liability insurance in Victoria, your business may be exposed for significant financial losses, with no safety net to fall back on.

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.
