Berkley Insurance Australia (BIA) has announced the launch of a combined professional indemnity (PI) and public liability (PL) insurance product, set to be available from June 1 through the Steadfast Client Trading Platform (SCTP).
This initiative aims to simplify the insurance process for brokers and their clients by offering a unified policy that addresses both professional and public liability risks.
The new offering is designed to streamline policy management by reducing administrative steps and addressing potential gaps in coverage that may arise from holding separate policies across different insurers. By integrating PI and PL coverage, BIA seeks to provide a more cohesive and efficient solution for professionals navigating complex risk landscapes.
For brokers, the combined product offers several advantages, including faster turnaround times, local support, competitive commissions, and high coverage limits. BIA's commitment to supporting brokers within the Steadfast network is evident, with indications that further product developments are under consideration to meet evolving market needs.
The introduction of this combined policy option aligns with the expansion of BIA's bindIT broker portal, which now includes PI cover alongside existing offerings. Brokers can use bindIT to quote and bind combined PI and PL policies with coverage limits of up to $20 million, offering a digital solution designed to accelerate the placement process.
In the current insurance landscape, where professionals face increasing scrutiny and complex risk exposures, having a comprehensive and integrated insurance solution is crucial. BIA's combined indemnity and liability cover represents a significant step forward in providing tailored and efficient insurance products that meet the specific needs of Australian professionals.
