Business insurance
Insurance for Data Cabling and Communications Specialists
A miscabled rack, a damaged cable tray or a network outage that takes a client's site offline can all land on you, so cabling specialists generally carry public liability cover, plus professional indemnity where you are designing or certifying networks. Tools, test gear and stock in the van or store also need cover, and if you employ cablers, workers' compensation is required.
With premiums commonly around $1,200 a year and many policies renewing near 30 June, it pays to review your cover before the new financial year. Cockatoo helps you match to a broker or insurer who understands cabling and communications work.

When should I review my premium?
Many trade policies renew around 30 June, so the lead-up to the new financial year is a natural time to check your cover still matches your jobs and equipment. Premiums often sit near $1,200 for cabling work. Cockatoo helps you compare options at renewal.
