Public Liability Insurance — Sponsored

Does this subcontractor have current public liability cover?

ABN and licence checks don't confirm insurance status. Before engagement, ask for a certificate of currency. BizCover makes it fast for subbies to get covered — from $600/year for trades.

Data source: ABN data is sourced from the Australian Business Register via the ABN Lookup API (business.gov.au). Register data may lag real-time changes by up to 24–48 hours. Not tax or legal advice — always verify with your accountant or tax adviser before withholding or adjusting payment amounts. Builder's licence links are provided as a convenience; verify current licence status directly with the relevant licensing body.
