Real World claim examples for a performer
A magician performing at a private event uses a prop that accidentally strikes and damages an expensive piece of artwork belonging to the venue. The venue owner seeks compensation for the damage. Public liability insurance covers the cost of the claim up to the policy limit.
A stilt walker performing at a community festival loses balance and falls into a crowd barrier, which collapses and injures two bystanders. Public liability insurance covers the legal liability arising from the incident.
A face painter leaves their kit bag on the ground between clients. An event attendee trips over the bag and sprains their wrist. The attendee makes a claim for medical expenses and lost income. Public liability insurance responds to the claim.
What Is Performer Public Liability Insurance?
Public liability insurance protects you financially if a third party, such as an audience member, venue staff member, or event organiser, suffers a bodily injury or property damage as a direct result of your performance or your presence at a venue.
As a performer, you are working in public spaces, often with equipment, props, or physical movement involved. Accidents can happen even when you take every precaution. Without public liability insurance, the cost of a legal claim, including defence costs, compensation, and associated expenses, falls entirely on you.
AUZi’s performer public liability insurance covers your legal liability up to your chosen limit of $5 million, $10 million, or $20 million. It is not a professional indemnity policy and does not cover your own equipment or injury to yourself; it specifically covers your liability to others.
You can read more about general business insurance requirements on the Australian Government Business portal.

Most venues and event organisers in Australia will require you to hold a current public liability insurance policy before you perform. Even where it is not compulsory, it protects you financially if a third party is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your performance.
