What insurance do Chiropractic Australia Members need?

Professional Indemnity
(includes Public & Product Liability)
This provides cover in the event a third party alleges that you have been negligent in performing your services or giving advice, and as a result, they have suffered injury or financial loss. For example, a client may allege that your treatment led to their condition worsening, and caused them more pain and take legal action against you. Professional Indemnity insurance may cover the cost of legal representation, as well as compensation you’re required to pay as result of the claim.2

Professional Indemnity Insurance is a requirement under the Chiropractic Board of Australia.
Public Liability
(included in our Professional Indemnity package)
Public Liability Insurance helps protect your business against liability for third-party personal injury or property damage arising out of your business activities. For example, if a client or visitor was to slip and fall while on your business premises, you would look to this policy to cover the claim.

While these events may seem rare, if they do occur, the financial impacts can be very significant. As a Chiropractor your profession involves significant interaction with clients, therefore Public Liability is a crucial cover to consider for your business, whether that’s at your office, out in public, or at your clients’ homes.2
Business Insurance
Business Insurance is designed to protect your business and its assets (including equipment) against certain unexpected events. For example it can include cover for damage to business premises and/or equipment caused by fire, storm, theft and other insured events.2

A key part of this policy is Business Interruption, which can provide protection for lost revenue in the event your business is unable to operate as usual due to an insured peril.

Business Insurance is made up of a number of cover sections, and you can choose the sections that relate to your business. Cover is also available for damage to money (if you keep cash on premises), portable contents such as mobile phones and laptops, and Public Liability.
Cyber Insurance
Cyber insurance helps protect you against certain cyber related threats, such as unauthorised access to your computer system or network resulting in loss or theft of data.

As a Chiropractor, you may store valuable client data (such as personal details, bank account details and health records). When this type of personal information is kept digitally in your care, custody or control, it is important to consider the risks of data and security breaches. Cyber insurance may be worth considering when protecting your business against these risks.2

Cyber insurance has now become one of the essential products a business in the health industry should consider.
Product Liability
(included in our Professional Indemnity package)
Product liability insurance is typically included as part of a public liability insurance policy.

Product liability insurance helps protect your business against financial liability for third party injury or damage caused by products sold or supplied through your business.

Public and Products Liability policies can cover legal defence and court costs, assisting your business with the financial setbacks of defending a claim.2

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it mandatory for Chiropractors to hold insurance?

Am I covered if I conduct home visits to treat patients?

Why do Chiropractors need Public and Products Liability insurance?
Patients and members of the public frequently visit your business premises. One of your visitors could trip on the steps leading up to your business premises, twisting their ankle and dropping their brand new mobile phone. That visitor could make a claim against you, alleging that you are liable for their injury and for the damage to their phone. Chiropractors Liability Insurance provides cover for legal liabilities if a member of the public makes a claim that they were injured, or damage was caused to their property because of your business dealings or on your premises.2

Can I place my insurance on hold if I’m going on parental leave?
We are able to arrange a 50% discount off the base premium on a pro-rata basis effective from the date you notify us that you will be going on parental leave.3
