Trades & Contractors Insurance

Build a Watertight Defence for Your Trade Business.

On a busy Australian job site, things can go wrong in seconds. Whether it’s a stolen toolbox from the back of your Ute, a punctured pipe causing massive water damage, or a compliance check blocking you from a lucrative commercial site, tradies cannot afford gaps in their cover.

We look after the paperwork and negotiate competitive premiums across Australia's leading trade insurers, so you can keep your crew working safely on the tools.

We Will Make Sure You Have The Right Cover In Place

  • Public Liability

    Foundational cover required for site access, principal contractor sign-offs, and sub-contracting roles. It handles third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.

  • Tool, Stock & Equipment Cover

    Protects your vital tools of trade against theft following forced entry from your vehicle, locked trailer, workshop, or secure job site.

  • Personal Accident & Illness

    Crucial for sole traders and sub-contractors who don't have corporate sick leave, providing weekly income support if a site injury keeps you off work.

  • Commercial Vehicle & Trailer

    Covers your work Utes, delivery vans, tippers, and trailers for accidental damage, transit collisions, and third-party liabilities.

  • Contract Works (Construction Insurance)

    Protects building materials and work-in-progress against fire, storm, vandalism, or theft while a project is actively underway.

  • Professional Indemnity (PI) for Trade Consultants

    Essential for trade principals, project managers, surveyors, and estimators who provide standalone advice, feasibility studies, or project oversight. It covers legal defence costs and financial losses if a client claims your advice or project management was negligent and cost them money.

  • Design & Construct (D&C) Liability

    The ultimate protection for builders, turn-key contractors, and specialised sub-contractors (like HVAC, electrical engineers, or commercial plumbers) who manage both the design phase and the physical construction. It completely bridges the dangerous gap between physical site mistakes and professional design errors under one seamless policy.
