How our insurance broker matching works
Share your situation: Tell us if you are looking for personal, life, or business cover so we can identify the relevant enquiry category.
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. Referral allocation may take account of your enquiry category, location, broker availability and commercial factors such as account and bidding settings.
Clarify broker fees: Your broker will explain how their insurance broker fees and charges are structured, and which services are included.

Why use an insurance broker instead of going direct?
An insurance broker can help 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.
