What insurance do bricklayers need?

Public Liability

Bricklaying happens at height and over other people's property. If a tool or a course of bricks drops, a wall fails, or someone is hurt near your scaffold, public liability responds to the claim and the legal costs. Builders usually require $10m or $20m.

Tools & Equipment

Brick saws, mixers, levels, lines and hand tools are easily stolen from site or a ute. Tools cover replaces the gear your crew can't lay without.

Personal Accident & Illness

Bricklaying is physically demanding work. If you're injured and can't lay, personal accident and illness cover can provide financial support if you're unable to work.

Contract Works

On bigger jobs, contract works covers your brickwork and materials in progress, against storm, theft and damage, before the build is handed over.

Workers Injury

Running a gang? Workers cover protects you when a labourer or apprentice is hurt on site, in line with your state's requirements.

FAQ

Bricklayers insurance questions.

Speak with our team on 1300 080 323.

What insurance does a bricklayer need?
At a minimum, public liability, commonly $10m or $20m to satisfy builders, covering dropped materials, damage and injuries around your work and scaffold. Most brickies also carry tools of trade cover, personal accident cover to protect their income, and contract works on larger jobs. We put the right mix together for your crew.
How much does bricklayers insurance cost?
It depends on your turnover, the states you work in, the size of your crew and the cover you choose, so there's no single price. We compare 20+ insurers to find the right cover at a competitive premium. Tell us about your business and we'll come back with options.
Does my insurance cover working at height or off scaffold?
Working at height raises the risk, so it needs to be disclosed to the insurer. We arrange public liability that matches the heights and scaffold you actually work from, so cover isn't in doubt if something drops or someone is hurt.
Do I need insurance to subcontract to a builder?
Almost always. Builders and principal contractors ask for a certificate of currency and a set public liability limit, often $10m or $20m, before you start. We arrange the cover and provide the certificates you need to get on site.
Can I get cover as a sole-trader brickie?
Yes. Whether you lay solo, subbie, or run a gang, we size public liability, tools and personal accident cover to how you work, and add workers cover once you take on labourers or an apprentice.
