Property damage cover provides protection against a range of insured events, including fire, lightning, storm damage, water damage, earthquake, explosion, impact by vehicles or aircraft, riot or civil commotion, malicious damage, vandalism, and accidental damage.

Flood cover is generally optional under this section and may be added to your policy for an additional premium, depending on your circumstances and insurer approval.

To ensure adequate protection, it’s important to insure your business assets for their full replacement value, as underinsurance may reduce the amount payable in the event of a claim.

An interruption to your business following an insured event, such as fire, storm, or cyclone, can often have a greater financial impact than the physical damage itself. Business Interruption cover is designed to help protect your business from the financial consequences of temporary closure or disrupted trading, including loss of income, rent, wages, increased operating costs, accountant fees, and other related expenses.

Flood” means the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of:

1. A lake, river, creek or another natural watercourse (whether or not it has been altered or modified);

2. A reservoir, canal or dam.

This is the standard definition for the insurance industry in Australia.

Professional Indemnity insurance protects your business against claims arising from alleged errors, omissions, or negligence in the professional advice, services, or work you provide. It can help cover legal costs, settlement expenses, and compensation payments associated with covered claims.

Any business or professional that provides advice, services, or expertise to clients may need Professional Indemnity insurance.

Professional Indemnity covers claims from professional advice or services. Liability insurance covers injury or property damage caused to others during your business activities.

Business insurance helps protect your business from financial loss due to risks such as property damage, legal claims, theft, or business interruption.

Treatment wording outlines the treatments and services that is covered under your policy, your policy schedule should reflect what is covered. This is how an insurer will assess and respond to certain situations, such as known claims, prior work, or changes in risk.

Your policy wording and schedule explain what is covered, what is excluded, and the limits of your cover. Contact our office to find out more or your broker can also help clarify this.

Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I own a salon in Canberra. Our work computer recently got smashed but was insured by salon insurance Australian! It was awesome giving them a call, Heidi immediately picked up the phone (no machines, wait times, or being put on hold). She very clearly and kindly talked me through the process (I have never made a claim before) and emailed me through a few things I needed to provide and a claim form, she helped me fill out the claim form and I think less than 48hours later they paid for me to get the newer model! Everything was really easy (I just assumed it would be a hard and lengthy process), professional, and they were so kind and helpful! I really appreciate it guys! And a big thank you for Heidi for putting up with all my questions
