Scaffolding Insurance

Specialist Protection for Those Who Build Higher

You build Australia — one scaffold at a time. We protect the scaffolders, contractors, and companies who make that possible.

At Scaffolding Insurance, we’re not your average insurance agent. We live and breathe the scaffolding trade — the heights, the hazards, the deadlines, and the safety standards that define your work.

Our mission is simple: to protect scaffolders with smarter, stronger, and more affordable insurance — built specifically for your trade.

We Work for Scaffolders — Not the Insurers

Forget call-centre agents who’ve never set foot on a job site. We’re 100% on your side — comparing top Australian insurers who understand the unique risks of scaffolding and access work.

That means:

Better coverage for scaffolding projects of all sizes
Competitive premiums that meet compliance and tender requirements
Fast turnaround so you can get insured and back on site
Real people who know the difference between a ledger and a transom
We do the shopping. You do the building.

All your scaffolding business insurance needs

Public & Products Liability Insurance

Accidents happen — and when they do, your business could be held responsible. Public & Products Liability Insurance protects against claims for injury, illness, or property damage caused by your business activities or the products you sell. Whether it’s a customer tripping in your shop, or a product fault leading to damages, this cover shields your business from potentially devastating lawsuits.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

If you give professional advice or provide specialised services, mistakes can be costly. Professional Indemnity Insurance covers you if a client alleges your advice, design, or service caused them financial loss. It pays for legal defence, settlements, and compensation costs. This is a must-have for consultants, designers, engineers, and other service-based professionals.

General Property / Tools of Trade Insurance

Your tools, equipment, and portable property are the backbone of your trade. General Property (Tools of Trade) Insurance provides cover if they’re lost, stolen, or damaged — whether on-site, in transit, or locked in your vehicle. Without your tools, work stops. This policy gets you back on the job quickly without having to shoulder the replacement costs yourself.

Management Liability Insurance

Running a company means directors and managers carry personal exposure to claims of mismanagement, breaches of duty, unfair dismissal, workplace misconduct, and more. Management Liability Insurance protects both the business and its leaders against these risks. It covers legal defence costs, fines and penalties, and compensation payments — helping safeguard the people behind the company as much as the business itself.

Business Interruption Insurance

When disaster strikes, it’s not just your physical assets that are affected — it’s your cash flow. Business Interruption Insurance helps cover lost income and ongoing expenses if your operations are disrupted by an insured event (like fire, storm, or property damage). This cover ensures you can still pay wages, rent, and bills while you work to get back on your feet. It’s the safety net that keeps your business running when the doors are temporarily closed.

Beyond just repairs, it can cover replacement hire vehicles, legal liability, and even damage caused to other people’s property. With tailored options, your business vehicles are always protected while on the road.
