Insurance for Nutritionists
in Australia

As you take care of people’s health, Sparrow Insurance can take care of your insurance

Insurance for Nutrition Professionals

As a nutritionist, you guide clients so that they meet their food and nutritional requirements. Clients can take your advice and can experience excellent results. Still, a client could experience unexpected adverse health effects, holding you liable.

Your business needs to have insurance protection. You need peace of mind as you go about your practice.

What types of coverage do nutritionists need?

Your practice deals with people’s physical well-being, and mistakes can happen. When a client accuses you of neglect or asks for compensation for property damage you’ll need to be ready. Professional indemnity, public liability insurance, and product liability insurance, but not limited to, are basic essentials to your business.

Professional Indemnity

In case someone claims you’ve been negligent with your advice, you can turn to professional indemnity. If a person seeks to sue you for giving them a menu plan that causes a potential risk, professional indemnity insurance may cover related legal costs of the potential claim.

Public Liability

Since your practice requires you to work with the public, this public liability policy becomes vital as it covers you and your business from any untoward incident, like personal injury to your client, in your practice or even at your client’s place.

Product Liability

If you supply or sell products as part of your business, then you need to have products liability. In case a person claims that your products caused them an adverse reaction, this type of liability policy may potentially cover a claim.

Other policies to protect you

On top of professional indemnity, public liability, and product liability insurances, you’ll need other insurances dedicated to cover more potential risks.

Cyber Insurance

Health advisors in Australia, like you, probably keep digital records of your customers. Cover is available for a data breach. Cyber insurance as a policy may cover data loss or theft when someone breaks into your network and accesses vital information.

Management Liability Insurance

Tax Audit Insurance

Business Insurance
