Established in 1990, Austral Risk Services is a West Australian-owned independent insurance risk brokerage. Our offices are situated in modern premises in Stirling, a short drive from the Perth central business district.

Our Managing Director, Steve Halbert and fellow Director Ken Gillon, prior to joining Austral held senior managerial roles within national and international brokers.

Our extensive experience means we are meticulous in our approach. We work closely with you to:

Research your business

We talk to you and ensure we fully understand your business.

Identify risk

We identify your risk exposures. With larger clients, we collaborate with a risk specialist to formulate a detailed risk profile and risk management plan. For details, see the Risk Management section of this website.

Make a plan

We assist you with the setting of self-insured retentions. Then we structure an insurance program to protect the risks you elect to transfer to insurance. Our industry standing means we are usually successful with even difficult-to-place insurance.

Tailor your insurance policies

You may be surprised to learn that we don't believe every business falls under the "stock standard" policies provided by Insurers.  Instead, we work with the Insurers to ensure that your policy has the necessary endorsements and extensions that you and your business require for optimum cover. We work hard on your behalf to negotiate the right coverage at a competitive premium.

Help you with claims

We act as your advocate if you need to make a claim and, thanks to our established relationships with insurers, we expedite fast, correct settlement. For details, see the Claims section of this website.

Conduct regular reviews

Your business is constantly changing, due to growth, acquisition and changing government regulations. That’s why we conduct regular reviews to ensure your risk management and insurance plan is keeping pace with your business plan.
