Fire Protection Insurance
More Information
AWIB specialise in providing insurance solutions to cover fire protection risks. In 2003, AWIB undertook an extensive study of the fire protection industry following the liability crisis that hit Australia at the time. We discovered that many organisations could not afford the level of insurance required to continue to safely operate their business.
Our analysis also revealed that the fire protection industry was widely misunderstood by the insurance industry. As a result, we designed a specialist Public & Products Liability & Professional Indemnity insurance policy with wider policy benefits and lower insurance premiums.
We are dedicated to serving the needs of our clients. Through a comprehensive understanding of the fire protection industry, we offer tailored fire protection insurance solutions that can effectively protect them.
Agri-Business Insurance
More Information
At AWIB, we have a passion for protecting rural businesses. Like ourselves, many of our other PSC branches are rurally based and run by born and bred country folk, Agribusiness is close to our heart. We understand the risks that operators in the agribusiness industry are exposed to and understand that insurance can be difficult to navigate in the ever-evolving agribusiness space.
We take the time to understand the unique requirements of each of our clients by spending time with them and being part of their community. We also understand the liability risks that the horticulture code has introduced and work with businesses in the sector that present more complex risks.
For large corporate agribusinesses, AWIB can assist in the design of bespoke combined Farm and Commercial schedules. We have experience in plantation operations, as well as property placement for high-risk businesses such as abattoirs, sawmills and expanded polystyrene structures such as cold storage, with access to global markets to place these risks.
SME
Insurance
More Information
AWIB specialise in SME insurance. We protect these types of businesses by really getting to know them to the extent that we are a part of their business. We create one to one relationships with the owner of the business, ensuring good communication throughout the duration of the relationship. As we are locals of the communities we service, we are often customers of the businesses we service. As such, the relationships are genuine, and both parties have an invested interest in achieving the best outcome.
We truly care about the survival and success of our SME business clients and feel privileged that we are in a position to help them. We love learning about our clients’ businesses and combine that knowledge with an understanding of the insurance markets and products to find economical insurance solutions.
As insurance specialists, we are able to look beyond traditional policy structures to secure better outcomes. For example, we may break down a policy and place different sections with different insurers to maximise premium reductions. We also have intimate knowledge of policy wordings and know how to cover the idiosyncrasies to find solutions that are not only the most economical, but also offer great protection.

Our Risk Management Solutions
Risks come hand-in-hand with running a business. The business landscape can be unpredictable, volatile and complex. If you want to future-proof your company, managing, minimising and mitigating risk is imperative. At AWIB, we help you do just that, and provide the specialist advice needed to help keep your business protected.
We practice a holistic approach to risk management, considering all facets of your business and recommending the most appropriate proactive and practical ways to keep you protected. This is formally achieved through the creation of a risk management plan, which is used to establish clear procedures for identifying and avoiding potential threats, minimising the impact of unwanted events if they do occur, and coping with the outcomes.
Having this in place gives businesses the confidence that they can continue to move forward, set new goals and progress in their industry without their income and assets being at risk.
We Add Value to Your Business
We use our knowledge of your unique needs to source the most appropriate cover for your business. As established specialists in the field and a part of the wider PSC Insurance Group, we leverage our access to policies and industry connections to secure your business competitively priced cover.
If your business faces more unusual risks, which can be difficult to place, we can use our global networks to achieve what may otherwise be unattainable outcomes.
