Insurance for Trades

Public Liability Insurance

Whether you’re operating solo or running a team of tradies, public liability insurance is an essential form of cover. If property damage or a personal injury occurs as a result of your business activities, you could become the target of a claim. Public Liability Insurance protects you and your business against third-party claims which could potentially be very costly.

What about using sub-contractors? You may not be aware that subbys merely having an ABN is not enough to take the responsibly out of your hands. At the very least, anyone contracted to your site should have their own Injury and Public Liability Insurance cover. The safest option is to consider extra protection in the form of Workers Compensation cover to ensure you mitigate your risk as much as possible.

Workers Compensation

This insurance cover is your best defence to protect yourself and your employees.

As a trades business, you may call on sub-contractors to help with a job. Often, this can be someone you already know, who has the skills you need to finish the job. It’s a win-win situation when it all runs smoothly, but what happens if your ‘mate’ has an accident?

Regulations state that you are responsible for these sub-contractors as much as if they were your direct employees. If your subbie doesn’t have Injury and Public Liability Insurance and decides to make a claim arguing that they are a worker rather than a contractor, you could be in real trouble. The only way to protect yourself is through Worker’s Compensation cover.

Tools of Trade

As a tradie, you rely on the tools you need to do your job. So, it makes sense to protect those tools wherever you go. Whether you’re at home, on the road or out on site, we’ll take care of your insurance cover, leaving you one less thing to worry about.
