Austbrokers Countrywide, Austbrokers SPT and Austbrokers Professional Services have joined forces to win the tender to manage the professional indemnity insurance scheme for licensed conveyancers in Victoria.

The program, which caters for 450 registered Victorian conveyancers, will deliver a comprehensive professional indemnity insurance program including claims and risk management services tailored to the conveyancing profession.
 
Brian Salisbury, Managing Director Austbrokers SPT said his firm’s depth of knowledge and experience in establishing dedicated broking systems for the conveyancing profession played an important role in securing the deal, along with its reputation for maintaining that quality service for more than 20 years to almost 400 licenced conveyancing practices in New South Wales.

“We have a deep understanding of how the conveyancers and smaller businesses operate and are able to offer the personal support which is important to this market,” he added.

Austbrokers Countrywide and Austbrokers Professional Services also brought significant experience and expertise to the tender, with Austbrokers Countrywide managing director Tim Considine highlighting his firm’s “passion to see the conveyancing profession grow and prosper”. Meanwhile, Austbrokers Professional Services Managing Director Nick Codd’s professional risks expertise was described as the ‘glue’ which links the firms’ process and risk management solutions.
 
“I am really excited to see our Austbrokers Partners leveraging their respective expertise and combining to deliver a cohesive and holistic insurance and risk management program,” said Austbrokers Holdings CEO and managing director Mark Searles.
 
“Having the three managing directors directly involved in the process demonstrated the passion, focus and commitment Austbrokers members have for their clients and reinforces why the ‘owner-driver’ model is such a successful one for clients.”
