If you give advice or provide professional services, professional indemnity insurance is a must to safeguard your business.
Professional indemnity insurance is otherwise known as professional liability insurance. It’s designed for any professional who provides a specialist service, advice or consultation. Holding professional indemnity insurance in Australia is important for coverage against potential errors, omissions or negligence, which may otherwise have devastating financial consequences on your business.
Not all businesses are the same, so it’s important to ensure you have a professional indemnity insurance policy that meets the exact requirements of your business. Different industries present different risks and potential for more complex situations, so it is important to thoroughly understand the insurance options open to you before settling on a provider. Our team of advisors draw on years of experience across varied industries and can help you work through the fine print to find a policy that works best for your business.
