Why Sydney Painters Need Insurance
Whether you’re rolling walls in a terrace house in Newtown, spraying a high-rise in Parramatta, or managing a painting crew on the North Shore, accidents happen. Public liability claims and stolen tools are among the biggest risks for painters in Sydney. Having the right insurance isn’t just smart — it’s often required to get on site.
Policy Options For Painter Insurance Sydney
Here’s a breakdown of our most popular policies for painting professionals:
Public Liability Insurance – Your Essential Cover
Tool Insurance – Protect Your Gear, Protect Your Income
This is the backbone of painter insurance. It protects you if your work causes property damage or injury to someone on-site — like paint spills, ladder accidents, or overspray.
✅ What’s Covered
Paint damage to client property (e.g. flooring, walls, or furniture)
Injury to a client, visitor, or bystander
Legal defence costs if someone makes a liability claim against you
❌ What’s Not Covered
Faulty workmanship (can be added separately with professional indemnity cover)
Personal injury to yourself (see Personal Accident Insurance below)
📝 Required for most painting jobs and building site access. Choose from $5M, $10M, or $20M limits depending on your contracts and licensing requirements.
Your tools are your livelihood. This policy covers theft, fire, vandalism, and accidental damage — whether you’re on-site, driving between jobs, or storing gear overnight.
✅ What’s Covered
Power tools and hand tools (spray guns, sanders, brushes, rollers)
Job-specific gear like ladders, drop sheets, and sprayers
Theft from locked vehicles, trailers, or site boxes
❌ What’s Not Covered
Normal wear and tear
Loss from unlocked or unattended storage
💡 Fast replacements so you’re never off the brush for long.
Business Vehicle Insurance – Keep Your Work on the Road
Personal Accident Insurance – Cover When You’re Off the Tools
Need your ute, van, or trailer for every job? We’ve got cover for vehicles used for business — with options to include your tools, signage, and modifications too.
✅ What’s Covered
Commercial-use vehicles (utes, vans, work trucks)
Enclosed trailers with tool storage
Damage from accidents, fire, or theft
❌ What’s Not Covered
Unroadworthy or unregistered vehicles
Personal belongings (unless specifically listed)
🔧 Protect your transport and your gear in one go.
What happens if you’re injured and can’t work? Personal Accident Insurance helps keep income flowing while you recover, so bills don’t pile up and your business keeps moving.
✅ What’s Covered
Income replacement if you’re injured or ill
24/7 cover (on-site, at home, or anywhere else)
Optional extras for total disability or accidental death
❌ What’s Not Covered
Pre-existing injuries or ongoing conditions
Self-inflicted harm or drug-related incidents
💡 Your tools don’t earn the income — you do. Protect yourself and your family’s future.
