Amazing service, efficient, reliable and most of all...stress free. Dani, you are a star, thank you so much for sorting my new policies. A very different and better experience to that had with my previous Broker. Keep up the great work.
Danielle has been an absolute blessing for us. She reached out to me after seeing a disheartened and desperate comment by me in an online group. We had desperately been searching for coverage for our dream property in Tasmania - two other brokers (including a huge company with offices all over the country) had exhausted their options and not been able to help, and settlement was looming. Danielle was professional but also very friendly, warm and reassuring during my stressing out, and I knew she was going above and beyond to get this done! She kept me in the loop every step of the way...and succeeded in getting us a policy within a matter of days! I am so, so grateful, and cannot recommend her highly enough! She is amazing at what she does and is a genuinely wonderful human too!
It was so refreshing to have someone take the time to explain the important clauses of the professional indemnity insurance. The customisation was really good. Would highly recommend.
Danielle at SOL Insurance is amazing! Was a huge support during a really busy time when our insurances had lapsed and another broker hadn’t found a suitable alternative. Dani kept on top of things and acted fast to get us cover, and with a solid price point compared to what I had found with my own enquiries. Will absolutely use Dani again having come highly recommended to us, and I’d gladly recommend SOL insurance to others.
Danielle is fantastic. Very efficient and she got me an excellent quote/insurance. I highly recommend her, if you are like me a small business that has to cover insurance.

Scaffolding work carries real consequences when something goes wrong: a collapse, a fall from height, or an injury to workers relying on your structure. Whether you’re erecting residential scaffold or larger commercial systems, Sol Insurance Brokers can help you explore cover options that reflect the risk you actually carry.
01
Is designed to help protect you against claims for third-party injury or property damage arising from your work, including collapse, instability or structural failure of erected scaffold, subject to policy terms.
02
Relevant where you provide design or engineering advice on complex scaffold configurations, particularly where an error could result in financial loss.
03

04
Cover for trucks, trailers and service vehicles used to transport scaffold, including permanently attached equipment where applicable.
05
Protection for eligible scaffolding work in progress against insured events such as theft, fire, storm and accidental damage, subject to policy terms.

Important: The information provided on this page is general in nature and does not take into account your individual circumstances. Insurance cover, terms, conditions and exclusions vary between insurers and policies. Your insurance requirements will depend on your business activities, contracts, assets and individual circumstances. Please refer to the relevant policy wording and documentation for full details of cover. The risks listed above are general examples only, for illustrative purposes, and do not confirm that your individual policy will respond to any particular claim.
Cover can generally be structured around the mix of residential and commercial work you do. Let us know the range of jobs you take on and we can help you look at options that fit.
Tools, equipment and plant cover can include theft and accidental damage to scaffold components and equipment, subject to policy terms and any security requirements.
Subcontracted work can generally be considered when structuring your cover. Let us know the head contractor’s or principal contractor’s insurance requirements and we can help you explore options that meet them.
Public and products liability can respond to claims for third-party injury arising from your work, including incidents involving scaffold you’ve erected, subject to policy terms and conditions.
Liability limits can generally be tailored to reflect the scale and risk profile of your work. We can help you think through what level of cover makes sense for your business.
It may be relevant where you’re responsible for scaffold in progress or in place over an extended period. Contract works can help protect eligible scaffolding work against insured events such as theft, fire and storm, subject to policy terms.
