Frequently Asked Questions
Manufacturing Insurance FAQ
What does manufacturing insurance typically cover?
Manufacturing insurance is a tailored package of covers designed for factories, processing plants, and production facilities. It typically includes product liability, public liability, plant & machinery breakdown, business interruption, and goods in transit. The exact combination depends on your operations, the materials you process, and your specific risk profile. As your broker, we assess your operations and recommend only the covers you actually need.
How much does manufacturing insurance cost in Australia?
Costs vary significantly based on your annual turnover, number of employees, types of products manufactured, claims history, and safety systems in place. As a broker with access to a large number of Australian and international insurers, we compare multiple quotes to find the most competitive premium for your risk profile.
Do I need product liability insurance as a manufacturer?
If you manufacture, process, or distribute any physical product, product liability insurance is essential. It covers claims if your product causes injury or property damage to a third party. Many retailers, distributors, and supply chain partners require it as a condition of doing business. In Australia, product liability claims can be significant — this cover protects both your business and your personal assets.
Can you help if I’ve been declined or have a complex claims history?
Yes. With access to more than 20 insurers — including specialist and international markets — we can often find cover for businesses that have been declined elsewhere or have a difficult claims history. We present your risk professionally to the right insurers and negotiate on your behalf.
How long does it take to get a manufacturing insurance quote?
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of your operations and the covers required. Once we’ve had an initial conversation to understand your business, we’ll give you a clear indication of timing. Simply fill out the form above and we’ll be in touch to get the process started.
