Health / Medical Practitioner – Insurance Estimator
For private clinics, dentists and allied health. Work through the steps to total property replacement values,
get suggested Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) limits, estimate
Business Interruption (BI), and see hints for Deterioration of Stock and Cyber/Data Breach.
This is a planning tool only – not a quote or advice.
Step 1 of 7
1) Clinic profile
A few basics to tailor PI/PL guidance and set GST display mode for property totals.
Include contractors if the clinic is responsible for arranging PI.
Optional, but improves PI/PL guidance.
Most clinics claim input tax credits → ex‑GST sums.
Next: PI floors and clinical exposure flags.
2) PI / Liability exposures
These inputs influence the PI/PL suggestion tiers (heuristic only).
If your lease/health network sets a minimum limit, select it here.
PI is claims‑made; longer retro increases tail risk.
3) Property: fit‑out & contents
Add replacement values (not second‑hand values). Use the per‑item GST toggle if your input includes GST.
Practice management servers/PCs, laptops, networking/Wi‑Fi, CCTV/DVR.
6) Consumables, cold‑chain & notes
Add totals for consumables and vaccines/biologics. Glass/signage and financier are optional.
Enter ex‑GST if you claim credits; the calculator will display totals in your GST mode.
If there’s a financier/lessor, your broker may need this for policy notes.
7) BI, Cyber & results
Add turnover/margin to estimate BI and add records to see a cyber hint, then calculate recommended sums & suggested limits.
As defined in your BI wording: turnover minus uninsured working expenses.
Additional Increase in Cost of Working buffer.
When you’re ready, calculate your recommended property total and suggested limits.
Heads‑up: PI is claims‑made. Liability, Equipment Breakdown, Deterioration of Stock, Flood and Cyber vary by insurer.
This tool totals user‑entered values and uses heuristics to suggest limits. It isn’t a quote or advice.

How to use our Medical and Health Practitioner Insurance Calculator
Our Medical and Health Practitioner Insurance Calculator helps Australian medical and allied health professionals estimate insurance levels that may be appropriate for a clinic or private practice. It brings your key risk drivers together, including clinical activity, claims history, property replacement values, and revenue, to produce a practical starting point for reviewing cover such as Professional Indemnity, Public Liability, Business Interruption, and related risks. This is important because underinsuring can leave you funding a loss personally, while overinsuring may increase premiums without improving real protection.
How to complete the calculator for the best estimate
1. Clinic profile: Select your specialty, enter the number of practitioners and average patients per day. These inputs influence risk exposure and the suggested liability limits.
2. GST treatment: Choose ex GST if your business is GST registered and can claim credits, otherwise choose incl. GST to better reflect out of pocket replacement costs.
3. Contract or regulator PI limit (floor): If your lease, health network, hospital admitting rights, or regulator sets a minimum, select it to avoid estimating below your required limit.
4. Retroactive exposure: Choose how long you have been practising. Professional Indemnity is typically claims made, so longer retroactive exposure can increase “tail” risk.
5. Clinical exposure flags: Answer questions on invasive procedures, sedation or anaesthesia, radiation imaging, and any claims in the last five years. Be conservative and accurate, as these factors materially affect appropriate limits.
6. Property and equipment: Add replacement values for fit out and contents, medical and diagnostic equipment, and IT and electronics. Use like for like replacement values, not depreciated book values.
7. Consumables and cold chain: Enter consumables totals and vaccines or biologics stored in fridges. Add glass or signage if relevant and note any financier if required.
8. Business Interruption: Enter annual turnover, gross profit margin, indemnity period, and any uplift to allow for cost increases during recovery.
How to interpret the results
Your results provide estimated sums insured for property and equipment, and suggested limits for Professional Indemnity and Public Liability, plus an estimated Business Interruption figure based on gross profit. You will also see prompts about Deterioration of Stock and Cyber or Data Breach needs, and a JSON summary you can share when requesting a quote.
