Insurance built for the risks tradies face every day
Working in the trades means dealing with real-world risks every day. Whether you are on a construction site, working in a client’s home, or transporting tools between jobs, accidents can happen. Without the right insurance, a single incident can quickly become an expensive problem.
Trades and contractors insurance protects your business from common risks such as accidental property damage, injuries to the public, stolen tools, damaged equipment, or unexpected interruptions to your work.
For many tradies, even one claim can cost thousands of dollars. The right cover helps protect your business, tools, and income so you can keep working with confidence. It also shows builders, contractors, and clients that you have the required protection to operate professionally on site.
Common covers for tradies include public liability, tools and equipment insurance, contract works insurance, and plant or equipment protection depending on the type of work you do.
With the right insurance in place, everyday risks can be managed without putting your business or income at risk.

Insurance solutions for tradies & contractors
Every trade business operates differently. Your insurance should reflect the type of work you perform, the equipment you use and the level of risk involved in your projects.
Common coverage options include:
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance protects your business if your work causes injury to another person or damage to their property. Most trades require at least five or ten million dollars of public liability cover to operate on job sites or meet contract requirements.
Tools and Equipment Insurance
Your tools are essential to your work. Tools insurance covers theft or damage to tools stored in vehicles, workshops or job sites, helping you replace essential gear quickly.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
Trades rely heavily on utes, vans and other work vehicles. Commercial vehicle insurance protects your work vehicles and can also include coverage for tools stored inside.
Income Protection
If injury or illness prevents you from working, income protection insurance can provide financial support while you recover.
Workers Compensation
If you employ staff, workers compensation insurance is required to protect employees if they are injured on the job.
Contract Works Insurance
Contract works insurance protects building projects under construction from damage caused by events such as fire, storms or vandalism.
These coverage options can be combined to build a tailored insurance program suited to your trade and business structure.
