Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance is a type of liability insurance that can cover individuals and businesses against legal liability for property damage and bodily injury to others. It can also cover associated legal and professional costs in defending a claim, subject to policy terms, limits and exclusions. When you request a public liability insurance quote through this site, your enquiry is referred to a licensed insurance broker who will contact you directly; we do not provide personal financial advice ourselves and may receive a referral fee for the introduction.

Competitive rates

Simply complete our short online quote request form to be connected with a participating broker and access competitive public liability insurance quotes. You can also ask the broker about other liability insurance needs, including business liability insurance, employer liability insurance, directors and officers liability, product liability insurance, contractors liability insurance, trades liability insurance, property liability insurance, broadform liability insurance and landlords liability insurance, subject to the broker's services and available cover.

Compare Options

Because public liability insurance policies can differ, a licensed broker we refer you to can help you compare features, benefits and costs — not just price — and outline public liability cover options that may suit your needs and budget. Any product or personal advice is provided by the broker, not by this website.

Multiple Insurers

When you submit an online quote request with us, your enquiry is referred to a licensed insurance broker from our national referral panel. Participating brokers are required under our network terms to offer comparison options from multiple insurers relevant to their services.

Make Informed Decisions

Visit our extensive library of informative Public Liability Insurance Articles, the latest Insurance Online News, and listen to the latest episode of our News Podcast to stay in the loop with what's happening, why it matters to you, and some key takeaways you can use. Information and tools on this site, including our calculators, articles, news and podcasts, are general in nature and do not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.

Personalised Service

Public Liability Insurance Online does not provide financial product advice or claims assistance directly. Your enquiry is referred to a participating licensed insurance broker from our Australia-wide referral partner network, who will communicate with you directly after you submit a quote request. Quote comparisons, claims assistance and personal advice may be provided by that broker within the scope of their services and authorisation.

Broker Matching

A participating business insurance broker from our referral panel is allocated your enquiry using the information you provide in your public liability insurance quote request. Allocation may take account of your selected enquiry category, geographic service area, broker availability and bidding settings; it is not a recommendation of a financial product. All quotes, advice and assistance are provided by that broker directly, not by this website, so it is important that you provide complete and accurate answers when you submit your enquiry.
