General Property Insurance
General Property Insurance provides coverage for loss, theft or damage to portable tools, electronic equipment and specialised gear - protecting the equipment you rely on.
Protecting the Tools of Your Trade
For many professionals, the ability to earn depends entirely on the equipment they carry. Whether you're a tradie with a vehicle full of power tools, a photographer with high-value camera gear, a musician touring with instruments, or a medical professional with portable diagnostic equipment - your kit isn't just an asset, it's your livelihood.
General Property Insurance provides coverage for loss or damage to portable equipment, ensuring that when something happens to the gear you depend on, you're not left unable to work or facing significant replacement costs out of pocket.
Why General Property Insurance Matters
Unlike businesses with fixed premises and stationary equipment, many professionals carry their most valuable assets with them every day. That portability creates flexibility, but it also creates risk.
Tools left in a vehicle can be stolen. Electronic equipment can be damaged in transit. Specialised gear can be lost, broken or simply disappear from a busy worksite. For professionals whose income depends on having the right equipment available and working, even a short period without it can mean lost jobs and lost revenue.
What Equipment May Be Covered:
- Tools of trade
- Mobile electronics
- Mobile medical equipment
- Photographic equipment
- Musical instruments
- Sports equipment
- Survey equipment
- Photo booths
- Jumping castles
Understanding Your Coverage
Portable Equipment Protection
General Property Insurance is designed for equipment that moves with you - from job to job, location to location, or venue to venue. Whether your gear travels in a work vehicle, gets set up at client premises, or accompanies you to events and functions, the right policy ensures it's protected wherever your work takes you.
Tailored to Your Profession
Different professions have different equipment needs and risk profiles. A sole trader electrician has different coverage requirements than a wedding photographer or a mobile DJ. The right policy should reflect the specific nature of your work and the value of the equipment you rely on.
What Your Policy May Include:
Fire and perils - protection against fire, storm and other defined events
Theft from locked vehicle or premises - cover when equipment is secured
Theft from open air - protection for equipment at worksites or outdoor locations
Accidental damage - cover for unexpected breakage or damage during use
