Committed to your unique and changing needs

The industry’s fortunes have always been shaped by unpredictable weather, climatic conditions and the challenges faced by disease. Whilst the agricultural industry continues to grow year on year, it is impossible to deny the significant impact that climate change has had on agricultural output. Increasingly our farms, livestock, and plantations are exposed to catastrophic losses from soaring temperatures, windstorms, flooding, bushfires and other extreme weather events.

Global trade and tourism are also creating new challenges and putting our border biosecurity defenses to the test. Keeping the most devastating exotic diseases out of our livestock herds and crop sectors is a daunting task.

We are keenly aware of the challenges facing our agricultural industry and are uniquely placed to offer advice and risk management solutions.

We listen to your concerns

Our deep understanding of the agricultural landscape and climatic conditions allows us to talk with farmers and agribusinesses about real risks. We believe that in order to show a client true value, you must first listen and understand their concerns, and experience tells us that every farm, plantation, and business is different and faces its own unique set of risks and challenges. It is for this reason that our approach is holistic - we follow a process of listening to your concerns, suggesting risk mitigation measures and customising coverage solutions that are specific to your agricultural operation.

Navigating fleet risk in Australia: Insurance innovation for a changing landscape

In Australia’s fast-paced delivery, haulage and transportation sector, operating a fleet of heavy goods vehicles, presents a complex risk environment.

Risks for food manufacturers and producers: Why risk management is now a boardroom issue

Australia’s food manufacturing sector is a dynamic and high-stakes environment. From contamination events to supply chain fragility, bakery, confectionery, frozen food and ready-meal producers all operate in an environment where one misstep can hit margins, brand value and customer trust.
The sector has always been competitive, but the risk landscape has become more complex. 
Shifting consumer preferences, the effects of climate change, and growing reliance on technology means producers are juggling more moving parts than ever before.
The reality is clear. Resilience is no longer just an operational concern, it’s a boardroom issue.
