Carpenters Insurance
From framing to fit-out, carpenters work alongside every other trade and the public, and one slip with a nail gun or a dropped tool can turn into a liability claim. Construction Cover arranges public liability, tools and income cover around how carpenters actually work, placed across 20+ insurers by a specialist broker who calls you back.

What insurance do carpenters need?
Public Liability
The cover builders insist on. If your work injures someone on site, or a dropped tool or offcut damages the building or a neighbour's property, public liability responds to the claim and the legal costs. Commercial sites usually require $10m or $20m.
Tools & Equipment
Drop saws, track saws, nail guns, routers and a ute full of cordless kit are a carpenter's livelihood and a prime theft target. Tools cover replaces them when they're stolen or damaged on site.
Personal Accident & Illness
You earn with your hands. If an injury keeps you off the tools, personal accident and illness cover replaces income so the bills still get paid while you recover.
Contract Works
On new builds and extensions, contract works covers your framing, carpentry and materials in progress, against storm, theft and damage before the job is handed over.
Workers Injury
Put on an apprentice or a second chippy and workers cover protects you when they're hurt at work, in line with your state's scheme.
