1 in 10 Australian small businesses with insurance don’t have enough cover to protect themselves against business disruption, legal liabilities or loss or damage to their assets. This is referred to as ‘underinsurance’ and it can greatly increase the risk of a business having to close down if something goes wrong. 
 
When you’re running a business, sorting out your insurance cover often drops to the bottom of your never ending to-do list. That’s where we can help. We do the hard work of reviewing your insurance strategy, adapting your cover as your business changes, and giving you peace of mind that your business is properly insured.

Assistant Minister for Home Affairs Senator the Hon. Linda Reynolds and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk today announced the activation of Category C recovery grants for primary producers left devastated by widespread flooding in North Queensland. 

​​​The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has issued advice on what to do after a flood:
​

• Return to your property when emergency services declare it safe to do so

• Only enter your property when you are certain you are not at risk

​The floods in January and February 2019 in Townsville have provided some much needed relief for growers and farmers in the area, in addition to filling the Ross River Dam and lifting the stress of the dry.
