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. If your business relies on professional advice and services, the last thing you need is to face repercussions that impact your reputation and stability. 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.

What Does an Insurance Broker Actually Do? 5 Ways Brokers Protect Australian Businesses

Sometimes a lot of it.  A broker’s real value isn’t in finding cover. It’s in making sure that cover actually works when your business needs it most.  Here’s what a business […]

What the 2026–27 Federal Budget Could Mean for Risk and Insurance in Australian Business

By Barrack Broking
As Australia moves closer to the 2026–27 Federal Budget, most commentary will focus on tax settings, cost-of-living relief and major spending announcements. For business leaders, however, the Budget often signals something broader: where pressure is building, where reform may be coming, and what operating risks may emerge next.  That is particularly relevant in 2026, with a coalition of major […]
