Cover commonly held

Ordered by how central each cover is to this occupation. This is what businesses in the trade commonly hold and what contracts commonly ask for — it is not a statement that any of it is legally required, and it is not a recommendation.

  • Professional indemnity insurance — Cover for legal liability arising from professional advice or services, written on a claims-made basis.
  • Public liability insurance — Cover for legal liability to third parties for personal injury or property damage arising from business activities.
  • Medical malpractice insurance — Cover for liability arising from clinical treatment and healthcare services, usually written alongside professional indemnity.
  • Workers compensation insurance — Statutory cover for injury to workers, arranged through each state or territory scheme rather than on the open market.
