ABS is upfront about when a client's needs are straightforward enough that this may not be required. What are typical broker fees in Australia? Most Australian brokers, ABS included, are paid through commissions built into the policy premium rather than a separate hourly rate. ABS discusses this structure openly during an initial consultation so clients understand exactly how the relationship works financially. Should I buy insurance directly or through a broker? Buying directly can suit genuinely simple needs.

ABS helps clients navigate claims conversations correctly from the outset, reducing the risk of an innocent comment complicating a legitimate claim. What is the actual point of using an insurance broker? A broker's role is to shop the market on a client's behalf, compare policies genuinely suited to their specific situation, and advocate for them during a claim. ABS's construction insurance heritage means this advocacy comes with genuine, practical industry understanding. Can I trust an insurance broker? A registered, licensed broker can generally be trusted, though it is always worth verifying credentials.

Is insurance always cheaper through a broker? Not always, but a broker can often find better value through wholesale arrangements or more appropriate cover suited to actual risk.
