Verified for Queensland

  • Licence liability condition: No insurance condition appears in the Act itself, which deals with training, character assessment and industry association membership. But note the mechanism: conditions can be imposed by the chief executive, so an insurance condition could attach to a particular licence without being in the statute. Recorded as "not in the Act" rather than "does not exist", and a Queensland licensee should check the conditions actually on their own licence.

What contracts commonly ask for

Principals and head contractors set their own insurance requirements, and those are frequently higher than a licence condition. The requirement that binds is the higher of the two, and both have to be read from the actual document.

What this cover costs

This site publishes no cost benchmark for this cover. A benchmark needs a real sample of documents, and none is published until the sample is large enough to compute a median honestly. A benchmark from a handful of policies is a guess with a decimal point.
