WARNING: Signing of Contracts
There are potential insurance ramifications of signing contracts without appropriate legal advice. Many contracts have clauses that put the insured in a situation where they may not be covered under their liability policies. Policies usually have an exclusion relating to Contractual Liability. Basically, the exclusion states that the Insurer will only provide indemnity for any contractual liability where the signing of the contract does not increase the insured's liability beyond what would have applied had the contract not been signed.

Workcover / Workers Compensation
Workers Compensation insurance is compulsory for all employees. You need to be very careful about what the definition of an employee is and this can vary from state to state. If you have no cover in place, then you should arrange cover immediately.
NOTE: We do not handle Workcover insurance but we can point you in the right direction if you need to arrange cover.
Sub-Contractors - If you are not operating under a company structure and you hire sub-contractors that are not working under a company structure, then it is likely that you will be held responsible for any injuries that a sub-contractor incurs whilst performing work for your business. The fact that they may have their own ABN and submit invoices for their work is unlikely to get you off payment of their injuries
