If you're providing a service at a community event and don't have your own public liability insurance, you may be eligible to apply for coverage through Council under certain conditions.
This public liability insurance is only relevant to community events, not facility hire. For Council facility hire and related venue public liability insurance, speak to the venue manager.
Most community events require service providers to have public liability insurance. This protects you if someone is injured or suffers a loss due to your service or equipment. Claims can be costly, sometimes reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Important: This insurance only covers the individual purchaser. If you engage others (such as a band supporting a solo performer), they must arrange their own insurance. Council is not liable for any third-party loss caused by your business, and Council’s insurance will not cover such claims.
All insurance policies differ. It is your responsibility to review the policy wording to ensure this coverage suits your needs. Council does not guarantee its suitability.
