Understanding Your Cover – Woollahra

What is Public Liability Cover?


Public liability insurance protects your business in New South Wales when a customer, supplier, or member of the public suffers personal injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability insurance, your business could be held financially responsible for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that can easily reach six figures. Businesses across New South Wales also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Your public liability cover in New South Wales can include:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your New South Wales business premises or job 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
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations

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.
Public liability premiums for Woollahra businesses are not one-size-fits-all, pricing depends on several key factors. Insurers will look at your Woollahra business activities, size, claims history, and the amount of cover required to calculate your premium. Many Woollahra small businesses can access quality public liability cover starting from a few hundred dollars per year.

There is no single price for public liability cover in Woollahra, as every business carries a different level of risk. These include your industry type, annual turnover, number of employees, the nature of your work, and the level of cover you choose.
