Business insurance
Insurance for Optometrists
An optometry practice needs cover for both its clinical and retail sides. Professional indemnity is essential because you are diagnosing and managing eye health, and a missed or incorrect diagnosis can lead to a serious claim. Public liability protects against patient injury in the practice, while contents and stock cover protect your equipment and valuable frame and lens inventory.
Add business interruption, and workers' compensation if you employ optical assistants or staff. Premiums for an optometry practice often sit around the ~$2,000 mark, and with many policies renewing around 30 June, it is worth reviewing professional indemnity and stock limits before the new financial year, given how much your equipment and dispensary inventory are worth.
Common questions
Optometrists — insurance questions
What insurance does an optometrist need?
Professional indemnity is central because you diagnose and manage eye conditions, and public liability covers patient injury on the premises. Contents and stock cover protect your diagnostic equipment and frame inventory, while workers' compensation is required if you employ staff.
Does my cover protect my frame and equipment stock?
Contents and stock cover protect your dispensary frames, lenses and diagnostic equipment against fire, theft and damage, but limits should reflect their real value. Reviewing this before your 30 June renewal ensures expensive equipment and inventory are not underinsured.
