Understanding Your Cover – Tapping

Understanding Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance safeguards your business in Tapping when a customer, supplier, or member of the public 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 the right public liability cover, your business could be held financially responsible for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most industries also demand proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Your public liability cover in Tapping can include:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your Tapping business premises or job site
  • Client property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Tapping business, your business may be personally liable for significant financial losses, putting everything you’ve built at risk.

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.

Insurers will look at your Tapping business activities, size, claims history, and the amount of cover required to calculate your premium. Cover for Tapping sole traders and small businesses can be very affordable, with entry-level policies available from a few hundred dollars annually.

Yes, public liability insurance is not limited to your Tapping business premises.
