    Depends on what sort of insurance you need, but for my general insurance (car, house, landlord, business, etc) the people I go to are:

    White Insurance Brokers
    03 8790 5701
    whiteinsure.com.au

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your message!

    I searched this forum last time and noted you mentioned in another post that you recommended White Insurance Brokers, i did contact them but unfortunately they are unable to assist me. I am after Landlord insurance (thought maybe a broker may have more chance of getting it) and also after Income Protection insurance. But would like a broker to look after all my policies - Car/Home/Contents etc.

    Do you know of any other good brokers?

    Thanks,
    Joy

    Hi Joy,

    That's interesting, because they organised some of my landlord insurance. They did it for me quite a few years ago, it's certainly not a new policy.

    I've sent an email to another friend of mine about LL insurance. If I get a decent response I'll follow up.

    Thanks Pete - yeah I'm pretty sure there is an embargo on new landlord policies but was thinking maybe a broker might have more chance of navigating around that. Doesn't appear so.

    I really don't know. I've got a close friend who's a property manager, I asked her for a recommendation, she responded with these details. I do trust my friend, if she's referring someone it's because she's had good experiences with them.

    Hi @joyinvest how did you go with the insurance broker? I'm currently on the look for one, not sure if I should just go direct.

    Hi Major, I had no luck and ended up going direct. Did you find anyone in the end? Cheers.
