Steadfast Taswide Insurance Brokers

What Steadfast Taswide Insurance Brokers does

Steadfast Taswide Insurance Brokers Pty Ltd is a Hobart-headquartered, ASIC-regulated (AFS License No. 238451) general insurance brokerage operating five offices across Tasmania (Hobart, Devonport, Launceston, Burnie) and Melbourne (Kensington, VIC). The firm places business and personal lines — including Property, Business Interruption, Liability, Professional Indemnity, Directors & Officers, Workers Compensation, Motor Fleet, Cyber, Corporate Travel, Home & Contents, Motor Vehicle, Landlord, Strata, Caravan, Pleasure Craft, and Travel — with multiple underwriters accessed through the Steadfast Group network, the largest general insurance broker network in Australasia.

The company generates revenue through commissions paid by underwriters on placed premiums (the dominant recurring stream), supplemented by facilitation fees from premium funding arrangements that let clients spread annual premiums over roughly 10 monthly installments. Distribution is sales-led and relationship-driven: account executives deliver face-to-face consultations at regional offices, supplemented by an online business-insurance quote request form and partnerships such as the AIG travel product (offering a 20% discount) and DEFT for online credit-card payments. Customer segments are horizontal, spanning commercial, personal/domestic, and corporate travel lines.

Steadfast Taswide employs more than 80 staff, traces its heritage to 1976, and was formed in its current shape in 2014 through the merger of ANCA Insurance Brokers, Saunders Higgins Insurance Brokers, and Logan Group Insurance Brokers. The directors identified are Hayley Phillips (also Disputes Resolution Officer) and John Farrell, with Cameron Gill as Broker Manager. The firm is a member of NIBA, subscribes to AFCA, and adheres to the Insurance Brokers Code of Practice; no external equity, venture funding, or disclosed revenue figures are present in the available data.
