Understanding risks in healthcare

Healthcare professionals and organisations face evolving risks, from medical malpractice to cyber threats and regulatory compliance. Below are some key risks impacting this sector:

Professional Indemnity
Practicing doctors and allied health professionals can be exposed to claims of malpractice or negligence. Having Professional Indemnity coverage is critical to safeguard against costly legal battles.
Cyber threat & data breaches
With patient records increasingly digitised, healthcare providers must protect sensitive information. Cyber insurance can help mitigate financial losses and cover breach response costs.
Workplace Safety & Compliance
Medical practices and emergency departments must ensure adherence to stringent safety protocols. Worker’s Compensation and Public Liability insurance can help manage risks related to employee injuries or accidents involving patients and visitors.
Equipment Breakdown & Property Damage
Healthcare facilities rely on specialised equipment. Austcover can help you find a policy to cover machinery breakdown, property damage, and loss of income due to operational disruptions.
