Got your ABN?
Purchased your Ute?
You’ve got your tools?
Now, get yourself Insured…….
Before you race off and jump on the tools, you should ensure that you have the right insurance cover in place (in case something goes wrong).
From plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, and bricklayers, North Queensland’s tradies are the heart of our construction, renovation, and maintenance industry.
The role might be rewarding and earn some significant $, BUT it’s a job full of risks.
From accidental injuries to significant client property damage, having the RIGHT insurance is absolutely necessary. Insurance not only protects you and your assets; it also can help you to win more jobs!
Anything can happen when you are on the worksite, but having the right trade insurance policy can ensure that when the worst happens, you’re not jeopardising your livelihood from damage claims or loss of income.
Comprehensive insurance protects you and makes you more appealing to potential clients. Many homeowners or contractors will only consider hiring a tradie with proper insurance.
The right insurance package can add professionalism and trustworthiness that help you win more jobs in a busy industry.
It’s also important to note that without certain types of cover, you may find yourself unable to bid for or accept certain jobs. Even worse, sticking your head in the sand can result in fines and legal consequences for operating without the necessary insurance.

Sickness & Accident

To make sure you get the RIGHT cover to suit the type of work you do, your insurance broker will ask you a range of questions like….
Do you need cover for your tools?
Do you have a vehicle that needs to be insured?
Do you engage contractors, sub-contractors or labour hire employee’s to help you?
Do you work on mine sites, in the rail corridor, airside at any airport or aerodrome, at refineries or bulk handling facilities, underground, on high voltage equipment or at power generating facilities?
Do you work for Adani or any of their subsidiaries OR perform any sort of work at thermal coal mines?
Are you providing any designs or other form of advice to your clients?
Are you supervising workers other than your own on job sites?
By providing the right information to these typs of questions will ensure that you have adequate cover AND are not paying for policy inclusions that you don’t need.
