Data as at

Verified for New South Wales

  • Licence liability condition: No insurance condition. Insurance, insured and indemnity return zero across the complete Surveying and Spatial Information Act 2002. Registration procedure is imported from the uniform procedures legislation, and no insurance appears anywhere in the registration or renewal machinery. The accompanying Regulation could not be retrieved, so a subordinate requirement cannot be entirely ruled out. NSW · effective 2026-08-25 Board of Surveying and Spatial Information NSW · 2026-08-24
  • Licence evidence required: None in the Act. The one automatic removal trigger it does contain is about money rather than cover: the Board must remove a registered surveyor's name from the register if the registration administration fee is not paid on or before 31 August in any year. NSW · effective 2026-08-25 Board of Surveying and Spatial Information NSW · 2026-08-24
  • Licensing body: The Board of Surveying and Spatial Information (BOSSI), under the Surveying and Spatial Information Act 2002 (NSW). Registration is renewed annually and carries mandatory continuing professional development. NSW · effective 2026-08-24 Board of Surveying and Spatial Information NSW · 2026-08-24

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.
