Public liability requirements in Qld
The requirements of businesses needing public liability insurance are fairly similar wherever in Australia your business is located, however there are a few differences that are unique to Qld.
For example, electricians in Queensland must hold a Qld Electrical Contractors Licence, and in order to obtain or renew this licence the applicant must hold a special type of public liability policy specifically designed for Qld electricians.
The required cover is a broadform liability policy that includes consumer protection cover of $50,000. This cover is only available from certain insurers, and has been specifically designed to meet the Queensland requirements.
This is just one example of why all Qld businesses should deal with a Qld insurance broker, or at least a broker who knows the Queensland market well.
We cannot list all of the special Qld insurance requirements here on our website, however when you request a quote via our website your details will be reviewed by an insurance expert who can advise you on any Qld specific requirements for your industry or business type.
What to look for in a public liability policy
Aside from a few special exceptions such as the one detailed above, public liability insurance policies are generally the same regardless of whether your business operates in Qld or elsewhere in Australia.
The standard cover offered by all public liability policies is much the same, in that it will cover your business from the financial consequences of property damage or personal injury caused by your business to other people.
There are some differences in the extra features and benefits offered by different public liability policies, so it is worth comparing these between insurers.
Finally, you need to look at the value offered by the policy. The cost of public liability insurance in Qld does vary from one insurer to the next, so it is definitely worth shopping around when looking for your next policy.
