Professional Indemnity Insurance

Protect Your Business With Confidence.

When claims of negligence, duty breaches, errors or wrongful advice arise, your business needs to be protected. Otherwise, you could face legal action and penalties that leave your business vulnerable.

That’s what professional indemnity insurance can help you with. Keep your business protected in the face of claims so that operations can proceed as normal.

With legal action and involvement, it can be overwhelming to navigate your professional indemnity insurance, especially when you don’t know what to look out for. Barrack Broking is committed to being your partner, from finding you the right policy, right through to when you need to make a claim, we’ll be there. 

But let’s start with professional indemnity insurance and what you need to know to understand it.

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Most businesses will face a claim at one point or another. Professional indemnity insurance is your safety net when your business faces backlash from negligence claims, incorrect professional advice or breaches of contract. When these claims are made, businesses may be temporarily interrupted whilst they navigate the process; they may need to pay for any legal costs incurred and damages caused. 

Professional indemnity insurance protects your business from these responsibilities and the detriment it can cause to your organisation, by allowing you to get back on your feet as soon as possible.

Who Is It For?

As professional indemnity insurance protects businesses from claims made against their professional advice or performance, it can be particularly targeted and helpful for professions, including:

At Barrack Broking, our expertise covers a range of professions and industries, so we can tailor our professional indemnity insurance search to find you a cover that protects your business in the ways you need it to.

Professional Indemnity Insurance: Breakdown

It’s important to understand what your policy covers, so that if you’re ever in a position to make a claim, there are no surprises about what you’re liable for. Professional indemnity insurance will generally protect your business in the following scenarios:

Negligence

If a claim is made against your professional duty of care, where you’ve made an error or omission, your insurance will cover you for this.

Legal and Defence Costs

If you need to defend your business against a legal claim, the costs of this are covered in your policy.

Misleading or Deceptive Conduct

This protects you from claims against statements or advice your business gave that was deemed misleading.

Breach of Confidentiality

Protection if client information or data is compromised or leaked.

Infringement of Intellectual Property

If you infringe on copyright, trademark or patent, your cover will protect your business.

Defamation

When claims of libel or slander arise from the professional services you provide, your policy will cover you from further escalation.

Contractor Liability Risks in Construction Projects: What Businesses Should Review

It increasingly involves reviewing how subcontractors are engaged, how responsibilities are documented, and whether […]

Why Underinsurance Is Becoming a Bigger Issue for Commercial Property Owners

By Barrack Broking
Commercial property owners across Australia are facing a quieter but increasingly significant risk: underinsurance.  For many businesses, the issue has not come from major operational changes or large property acquisitions. Instead, it has developed gradually through rising construction costs, inflation, labour shortages, compliance changes, and shifting insurer expectations.  A building insured five years ago may […]
