How our insurance broker matching works

  • Share your situation: Tell us if you are looking for personal, life, or business cover so we can narrow down suitable brokers.
  • We match you with a broker: Based on your details, we introduce you to one appropriately licensed insurance broker in Australia from our referral panel.
  • Clarify broker fees: Your broker will explain how their insurance broker fees and charges are structured, and which services are included.
  • Connect on your terms: Choose when and how a licensed insurance broker contacts you to discuss options.

Why use an insurance broker instead of going direct?

An insurance broker represents you, not the insurer, helping you interpret policy wordings, compare insurers, and fine-tune cover to match your risk profile.

Independent insurance brokers (and other licensed advisers) can explain the difference between insurance agents and brokers, highlight gaps in cover, and negotiate with insurers on your behalf. Our articles walk through real examples of broker-client partnerships and the benefits of using an insurance broker for small businesses and households alike. Not all brokers are fully independent, so ask your matched broker about any affiliations or relationships with particular insurers. Browse practical explainer guides on our Articles hub.

Types of insurance broker services we cover

Whether you are protecting personal assets or a growing enterprise, our network of licensed insurance brokers supports a wide range of insurance needs.

Use our tools on the Calculators page to estimate how much cover you may need before speaking with a broker about suitable policy options.
