Victoria cover
Vending machine insurance in Victoria
Victoria combines dense inner-city placements with a very large manufacturing and warehouse base, so operators here often run a mix of snack, drink and coffee machines across quite different site types.
Melbourne's manufacturing and warehouse corridors plus inner-city gyms and universities are the busiest placement markets in Victoria.

What Victorian site owners ask for

Placement risks specific to Victoria
Shift-based manufacturing sites mean machines are used around the clock, which increases both wear and product liability exposure from hot beverages. Many Victorian sites also require your certificate to be renewed and re-supplied annually before the contract rolls over.
Machines and equipment cover in Victoria
Refrigerated and combination units in unattended warehouse areas are a common theft and damage exposure, and Victorian finance providers routinely require asset cover in place before releasing funds.
What your VIC certificate needs to show
- The insured entity name exactly as it appears on the placement agreement
- Public liability limit, usually $10 million or $20 million
- Product liability where you dispense food, hot drinks or perishables
- Policy period, so the site can diary your renewal date
