Kind Words From Our Clients
“Gavan Burke has helped us with all our insurance requirements since 2010. Gavan is extremely thorough in his research and comparative analysis, exploring all options to find the most comprehensive cover available.Lucky, because our business was severely affected by flooding in January 2011. We suffered a massive loss of several million dollars. Gavan assisted us through this most challenging time, liaising with the insurance company to make the process as hassle free as possible. A very positive outcome was achieved and our decision to change to Insurance Advisernet Australia certainly paid off!.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Pilates instructors and studios need insurance?
Pilates instructors and studios need insurance to protect against financial risks, such as client injuries or allegations of negligence. Insurance covers potential legal costs and compensation claims, ensuring your business remains stable. A public liability policy, along with professional indemnity and product liability coverage, helps safeguard against risks in your profession. Having your own insurance also boosts customer trust and complies with industry standards, like those set by Fitness Australia.
What is professional indemnity insurance, and do I need it?
Professional indemnity insurance protects against claims of professional negligence, errors or omissions in your work. As a Pilates instructor, this cover is essential for safeguarding your reputation and business from client claims, such as injury or misadvice. Many instructors obtain it alongside their public liability policy for comprehensive protection in their professional capacity.
What type of insurance do I need as a Pilates instructor?
As a Pilates instructor, it’s essential to have comprehensive insurance to protect against various risks. The following five types of insurance are recommended:
- Professional Indemnity Insurance: Protects against claims of negligence or errors in your professional capacity, such as misadvice or faulty instruction.
- Public Liability Insurance: Covers client injuries or damage to property that may occur during classes or private sessions.
- Product Liability Insurance: Provides coverage if any products you sell or use in classes (e.g., equipment or supplements) cause harm or injury.
- Building Insurance: Protects the physical premises you operate from, covering damages from events like fire, theft, or natural disasters.
- Participation Insurance: Covers injuries sustained by clients during their participation in Pilates classes, protecting you from potential claims.

Do Pilates instructors need liability insurance?
Yes, liability insurance, such as public liability and products liability policies, is essential for Pilates instructors. These policies protect you if a client is injured during a session or if a product you use causes harm. Having appropriate liability cover ensures you’re protected against potential legal and financial risks, maintaining business stability and client trust.
How much does insurance for Pilates studios and teachers cost, and what factors affect the cost?
Insurance costs for Pilates instructors or studios vary depending on factors like business size, client base, location, level and type/s of coverage. Your business’s financial situation, the extent of the risks, and your existing insurance (if any) also affect premiums.
To choose the right policy, assess your business needs and risks – or get in touch with our team for a chat. Consider including professional indemnity, public liability, and products liability insurance. Review the policy wording carefully to ensure it meets your coverage requirements. It’s a good idea to seek general advice and consider factors such as cost and the importance of having appropriate cover for events and customer interactions.
I'm just getting started. Is insurance really necessary?
Even as a new Pilates instructor, insurance is really important. It helps protect you from financial strain if an incident occurs, such as a client injury or negligence claim. It may not be likely that you’ll use it early on, but if you don’t have it and do need it – you could face serious financial and legal consequences.
Having your own insurance policy, including public liability and professional indemnity, can safeguard your growing business and will give you peace of mind. Some policies also include complimentary legal advice, with a helpline or advisor to chat with if any issues arise.
What is a certificate of currency, and why do I need it?
A certificate of currency confirms that your insurance policy is active and provides coverage. Studios, gyms, and fitness facilities require this document as proof of insurance. Having this document ensures that your policy is, in effect, protecting your business and clients. Make sure to request this certificate from your insurer and keep it on file for future reference.
What is a binder agreement in Australia?
A binder agreement in Australia is a temporary contract between an insurance provider and the policyholder. It provides immediate coverage before the final insurance policy is issued. The binder outlines the terms and conditions of the coverage, such as the premium and coverage limits, and is legally binding. Typically, a binder is used to ensure that the insured party has continuous protection while the full policy is being finalised.
What are the main benefits of having insurance for my Pilates business?
Insurance offers vital protection for your Pilates business. It shields you from financial risks associated with client injuries, professional negligence and product-related issues. A well-rounded policy, including public liability and professional indemnity, ensures that your business remains secure and compliant, providing peace of mind for both you and your customers.
