The change is almost here.
From 1 July 2026, certain NSW builders are expected to require Professional Indemnity Insurance as part of updated compliance obligations across the construction industry.
For many businesses, this isn’t just another insurance policy - it’s a shift toward greater accountability around design input, documentation, project advice and professional responsibilities.
If you’re still unsure how the changes may affect your business, now is the time to start the conversation.
Waiting until the final weeks could mean:
• delays securing cover
• limited insurer options
• additional underwriting requirements
• increased pressure before the deadline
At LA Insurance, we’re helping builders understand the changes, assess their risks and prepare ahead of time. To read the full article, go to:
