Labour Hire Insurance

Placing workers on someone else's site is a specific risk: if your labourer is injured, or injures another worker, the claim can land on you as the labour hire provider. We place cover built for that exposure, not a generic liability policy that assumes you control the site.

What labour hire insurance covers

Worker-to-worker liability

The signature labour hire claim — one worker injuring another, or your placed worker injured by the host's crew. It's excluded or limited on many policies; we make sure it's covered and your arrangements are disclosed.

Public & products liability

For injury or damage your workers cause on a host site. Placed at the limits host employers and principals require in their supply agreements.

Cover that tracks your placements

Rates and terms hinge on the trades and sites you supply into. We keep the policy matched as your mix changes, so a new high-risk contract doesn't leave a gap.

Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.

FAQ

Labour hire insurance questions.

Speak with our team on 1300 080 323.

What insurance does a labour hire company need?
Public liability with worker-to-worker cover is the priority, alongside workers compensation for your own employees. The right limit and terms depend on the trades and sites you place into — we build it around your contracts.
Who is liable if a labour hire worker is injured?
It depends on the arrangement, but the labour hire provider is frequently exposed, and host agreements often push liability back to you. Cover that includes worker-to-worker claims is what responds — we make sure yours does.
Does the host's insurance cover my workers?
Usually not in the way you'd want — you can't rely on it, and their policy protects them, not you. Your own liability cover, with labour hire disclosed, is what keeps a claim from becoming your problem.
