About TradieCover

Who we are

This site is run by the Arrivau team. We write insurance guides for Australian tradespeople. We're not an insurer, an insurance broker, or a financial adviser.

What we do

We write our guides from policy documents and public sources, and we tell you when a link is a referral link.

How we make money

We're upfront about this: some of our guides contain referral links to BizCover, an Australian insurance comparison platform. If you click through and get a quote, we may earn a commission. This never costs you extra, and it never influences what we write. We recommend comparing multiple quotes regardless of whether you use our links.

We believe that being transparent about how we earn revenue actually makes our content more trustworthy, not less. You'll always see a disclosure notice on pages that contain referral links.

Our editorial approach

Every guide follows the same principles: cite real numbers (not vague ranges), reference actual legislation and licensing bodies, explain what the policy actually covers (and what it doesn't), and write like a knowledgeable mate — not a brochure. We don't do clickbait titles, and we don't pad articles with filler. If a guide is 3,000 words, it's because the topic needs 3,000 words.

General advice warning

The information on this site is general in nature. It's been prepared without taking into account your personal objectives, financial situation, or needs. Before acting on anything you read here, consider whether it's appropriate for your circumstances. Always read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and consider seeking advice from a licensed insurance broker or financial adviser.
