Protecting the practice behind exceptional animal care

Every day, you care for pets when they need it most. From routine check-ups and vaccinations to emergency surgery and complex treatments, your team is dedicated to keeping animals healthy and giving pet owners peace of mind.

Running a veterinary practice, however, comes with its own set of challenges. Between caring for patients, managing staff, maintaining expensive equipment and supporting clients, there’s a lot to think about. That’s where we can help.

At Petcover Australia, we’re passionate about the animal industry too. As specialist insurance brokers with over 50 years of experience, we understand the unique needs of veterinary practices and can help you find insurance solutions that fit the way you work.

Whether you’re an independent clinic, specialist hospital, emergency practice, mobile vet or mixed animal practice, we’ll work with you to help protect the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

Insurance solutions for veterinary practices

Every veterinary practice is different, which is why we’ll work with you to understand your business and recommend insurance solutions that suit your needs.

Professional indemnity

As a veterinary professional, your advice and treatment decisions are central to your work. Professional indemnity insurance can help protect your practice against claims arising from professional services, treatment recommendations, diagnoses or advice provided to clients.

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance helps protect your practice against claims for injury to third parties or damage to their property arising from your business activities. For example, if a client slips in your reception area or is injured by an animal while visiting your clinic, this cover may help protect your business against the resulting claim.

Products liability

If your practice supplies medications, prescription diets, flea and tick products, supplements or other retail products, products liability insurance can help protect your business if a supplied product results in injury or property damage.

Workers compensation

Your veterinary team is your greatest asset. Insurance can help protect your business should any employee suffer a work-related injury while performing their duties.

Business equipment & property

Your veterinary practice relies on specialist equipment, technology, medications, stock and business assets every day. We can help arrange insurance to protect your equipment, contents and property against a range of unexpected events, helping minimise disruption and get your practice back up and running as quickly as possible.

Business interruption

If an insured event temporarily prevents your practice from operating, business interruption insurance may help cover ongoing operating expenses and lost income while your clinic recovers, helping you get back to caring for your patients sooner.

Theft & money

Insurance can be arranged to help protect your business against the theft of equipment, contents, stock and money, reducing the financial impact of unexpected losses and helping your practice recover more quickly.

Optional additional insurance add-ons

Cyber liability insurance

From electronic medical records and online bookings to payment systems and client databases, today’s veterinary practices rely heavily on technology. Cyber liability insurance can help protect your practice against cyber attacks, ransomware, data breaches and other cyber incidents, while helping manage the financial and operational impact of recovering your systems.

Management liability insurance

Running a veterinary practice comes with more than clinical responsibilities. Management liability insurance can help protect directors, owners, partners and managers against a range of risks associated with managing a business, including employment-related matters, workplace investigations, regulatory issues and certain management decisions.

Legal expenses insurance

Legal expenses insurance can help cover unexpected legal costs arising from a range of business-related matters, helping reduce the financial impact of disputes when they occur.

Commercial motor insurance

If your practice operates mobile veterinary vehicles or uses company vehicles for home visits, insurance can be arranged to help protect your vehicles and your business while on the road.
