What is disability worker insurance?
Disability worker insurance (the different types of business insurance designed for support workers) helps protect against the cost of everyday risks, such as accidental property damage, third party injuries, and negligence claims.
Business insurance is important for disability support workers. It helps safeguard your finances and reputation if legal action is taken against you. It also demonstrates professionalism to clients, employers, and regulatory bodies like the NDIS.

Get cover that works with the risks of your business
Select different cover amounts for each policy listed below.
This is the most you will be paid out if you need to make a claim.
Unsure how much to choose? Think about:
Statutory Profession Requirements
Cover required by contracts
Number of employees being covered
Your contract value
Worst case scenario claim size
Underinsurance
We know it’s tempting to select a lower level of cover to reduce premiums, but this can leave businesses shocked and insufficiently covered when making a claim.
Ways underinsurance catches business owners out:
Inflation
With inflation, the cost of living and doing business increases. Remember to cover you, your tools and assets for the rising costs of replacing or covering them, not what you paid for them – you may be surprised at the difference.
Not covering the full cost of your risks
If you select cover levels for less than the value you may be found liable – left out of pocket when it comes to claims time. It’s important to review your risks and determine how much you will need to cover any claim that may come your way.

Frequently asked questions
There are many types of business insurance available to disability support workers that cover different risks that they may face on the job. Two of the most common policies for disability workers are Professional Indemnity insurance and Public Liability insurance.
Professional Indemnity insurance will assist you in the event of negligence or breach of duty as a disability support worker. Your Professional Indemnity insurance will cover matters such as an award or settlement of compensation payable to a third party and defence costs (like legal fees, investigation costs, and expert fees).
Public Liability insurance protects disability support workers against claims for property damage or bodily injury from clients or members of the public. This could include accidents that happen while working in your client’s home or community settings.
Disability workers are also required to maintain adequate levels of Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance to meet the NDIS Terms of Business for Registered Providers.
In case of accidental harm, Public Liability insurance and Professional Indemnity insurance could help you manage the cost of compensation claims and lawsuits.
