Public Liability
Protection

Councils are responsible for ensuring that public spaces are safe for everyone in the community to use. However, despite best practices and safety protocols, accidents can still happen. When they do, it’s vital that you have the right public liability protection in place.

As a CivicRisk Member, you can rest assured that your organisation will be protected in the event of a claim.

How Does It Work?

CivicRisk’s public liability protection program provides financial assistance for legal advice and claims for personal injury, property damage and economic loss incurred to another person or property from council activity or assets. That way, we reduce financial uncertainty and make unexpected costs easier to manage.

As with our other protection products, our members can take advantage of a combination of self-insured, group insurance and risk management support services. This approach ensures you’re protected against public liability claims at all times while granting you access to expert advice.
