Understanding Your Cover – Winchelsea

Public Liability Insurance Explained

Public liability cover protects your business throughout Victoria when a customer, supplier, or member of the public suffers property damage or bodily injury as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your Victoria premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability insurance, your business could be held financially responsible for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that could devastate your business finances. Businesses across Victoria also demand proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

A public liability policy in Victoria generally protects you against:

  • Slips, trips and falls on your property or a client’s site
  • Client property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Victoria


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

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.
