More info on Personal Liability Insurance
Personal liability offers cover for legal liability including legal expenses for bodily injuries or damage to property of other persons as a result of a claim made against you. Having personal liability insurance will ensure that you are covered in the workplace. Australian Internships in conjunction with Colemont Insurance has developed an insurance policy with personal liability to the value of AU$2million.
For Example: If you accidently damage a company computer throughout your internship, personal liability insurance will cover the costs associated with repairs or replacement of the damaged item. Interns working in fields such as engineering, medical research etc will be in regular contact with expensive machines and equipment with values that will far exceed the standard office computer. This is why our approved insurance policy will cover interns to the value of AU$2million.
