What Kind of Insurance Does a Research and Policy Advisory Consultant Need?

Organisations require Research and Policy Advisory Consultants to help and provide advice, for research, for making and passing policies. These advisors ensure that policies are in compliance with respective laws in Australia.

These professionals may need the following insurance policies:

Professional Indemnity Insurance

If your recommendations resulted in significant financial losses, your client may lodge a professional indemnity claim against you. A Professional indemnity insurance in Melbourne safeguards you against a third-party claim for losses incurred as a result of the professional advice you have given. It also covers the lawsuit costs incurred from the investigation process to the court appearances, in addition to the compensation claim.

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance protects you and your company from claims by third parties for personal injuries (like slips-and-falls) or property damage. For instance, if one of your staff caused damage to your client's valuable items while on the job, you can use your public liability insurance to respond to the claim. You may be able to cover third party demands for compensation and other costs such as replacement or repair of damaged property.

Other Insurance Policies You May Add

If you own a business and have employees, you may need the following insurance coverages:
