Our experience in working with organisations in obtaining the broadest and most appropriate insurance cover is extensive and unrivalled.

We cover Australian based risks as well as worldwide touring theatre and musical tours.

With over 60 years of combined industry knowledge, we have a unique advantage with our insurers in developing, negotiating and placing the broadest insurance covers for the film and entertainment industry. Our experience with a vast range and size of events and productions, allows us to tailor insurance products to cover most risks which can impact your initial investment and ongoing returns of your production.

Insurance covers can be arranged for multi-million-dollar global tours to one off concerts, festivals, sporting events, theatre productions and films. Our team is able to provide the right advice together with broad tailored insurance covers. Our aim is also to ensure your project is financially protected at premiums which are cost effective.
