Interior Designers present a crucial role within the building industry, performing a range of tasks such as:

• Determining the objectives and constraints of the design brief by consulting with clients and stakeholders
• Researching and analysing spatial, functional, efficiency, safety, and aesthetic requirements
• Formulating design concepts for building interiors
• Preparing sketches, diagrams, illustrations and plans to communicate design concepts
• Negotiating design solutions with clients, management, suppliers, and construction staff
• Selecting, specifying, and recommending functional and aesthetic materials, furniture, and products for interiors
• Detailing and documenting selected design for construction
• Supervising the construction of interiors

Whether you specialise in commercial, industrial, retail or residential building interiors, there may be times where things do not always go to plan.

That’s why having a quality Professional Indemnity Insurance policy in place is critical to protecting your business and your own assets.

We specialise in providing tailored insurance packages for Interior Designers in Australia, which includes broad cover and flexibility.

This provides Interior Designers with the peace of mind that they have a comprehensive insurance policy protecting their business, tailored to their industries requirements.

Interior Designers typically need the following types of cover:

• Professional Indemnity Insurance
• Public Liability Insurance
• Management Liability Insurance
• Cyber Insurance
• Tools & Equipment Insurance
• Office Insurance

Every Interior Designer has different requirements and we work with each individual to ensure they have the right cover for their business. Whether you are a company or a sole trader, we can assist you.

Each state in Australia has different requirements for Professional Indemnity insurance. There are also some contractual requirements that also need to be considered that may require an Interior Designer to have a higher limit of Professional Indemnity cover.

We will work with you to ensure you have the right cover to meet your individual requirements. We currently partner with the following associations for their insurance requirements:

• Interior Design Association
• Design Matters National
• Building Design Queensland (formerly BDAQ)
• Building Designer Association of Australia (BDAA)

We also work with Interior Designers from all the other states and have a specific policy wording available with competitive premiums available.

An Interior Designers’ role is a combination of creative skill with highly technical knowledge and ability, and you face many different risks in running your business.

Professional Indemnity Insurance can provide your business with protection from claims relating to:

• Wrongful or inadequate advice to your client
• Acting without proper instructions from your client
• Failure to act or deliver in accordance with your client’s instructions, or at all
• Failure to advise client adequately
• Failure to comply with government regulations

Each policy wording is different with some better than others. It is important to ensure you have the correct cover in place for your business.
