Farm Insurance

Are you living on acreage?

Are you sure your current insurance company knows about this and covers you?

Time and time again we see clients with farms taking out policies where the insurer is not aware they live on acreage. This is a massive exposure now and more and more insurers are withdrawing from this market, especially with your home and contents and if you have any horses!

Don’t wait for a claim to happen to be told “you are not covered”

Get the right advice and purchase a Farm Insurance Pack that helps to secure your home, farm buildings, livestock, vehicles, equipment when you need it the most.

A typical Farm Pack includes:

· Safeguards your Home & Contents and belongings from fire, storm, wind, or accidental damage;

· Accidental damage and theft cover for farm sheds, from silos to tractors and utes;

· Protection from third-party claims for personal injury or property damage and legal costs;

· Accident and sickness cover, including consistent payments to help keep your business running in the event of an injury or if you fall ill;
