Healthcare, fitness and wellness are billion-dollar industries in Australia. As these sectors continue to adapt to and bounce back from COVID-19 lockdowns, they may need insurance protection to shield their small businesses against key industry exposures
The term “allied health” is used to describe a wide variety of health-related occupations (excluding doctors and dentists). This means that professions as varied as nurses, social workers, personal trainers, life coaches, and massage therapists all fall under the Allied Health umbrella.
BizCover for Brokers offers a combined insurance product that suits their needs.
What is Allied Health Combined Liability Insurance?*
Allied Health Combined Liability is a comprehensive packaged product including Professional Liability* and Public Liability* coverage that addresses the unique needs of allied health professionals. The Public Liability portion of these policies can be excluded if it is not required by an SME client.
These policies are convenient for your SME clients, because they offer two forms of essential protection in a single policy.
Combined Cover for Allied Health Professionals
Those working in the healthcare and wellness fields work closely with the general public. This creates a unique combination of risks around giving advice and interacting with customers. By packaging Professional Liability with Public Liability coverage, Allied Health insurance helps you provide your clients with a single policy that can protect their small businesses against their key exposures.

Allied Health helps protect a wide range of occupations in the healthcare and wellness industries, such as:
- Aged & Disability Care
- Personal Trainers
- Life Coaches
- Nurse & Nursing Services
- Chiropractors
- Beauticians
Claim **
Let’s see Allied Health in action with a real-world claim scenario from one of our partners:
There was a fire at the Insured’s day spa premises which caused extensive damage to the property. The landlord claimed for costs relating to property damage. The cause of the fire was the spontaneous combustion of towels that had been stacked on shelving shortly after removal from a dryer. The towels were packed whilst hot, and the presence of residue oils in the fabric of the towels contributed to the spontaneous combustion.
The Insured claimed under the policy, and the Insurer paid $65,000 to the Insured.
