What Aviso Group does

Aviso Group is a national Australian insurance broker network connecting clients with independently owned brokerages that provide risk advice and cover across business, personal, and specialty lines. The group comprises nine principal broker partners — Aviso Integral, Aviso Specialty, Aviso TAS, Aviso WA, Bendigo Insurance Brokers, Grange Insurance Solutions, Macey Insurance Brokers, North Queensland Insurance Brokers (NQIB), and Steel Pacific — operating across 35+ offices in every Australian state and territory, supported by a Sydney headquarters and approximately 300 employees.

The network delivers an 18-product insurance portfolio spanning business package, business interruption, commercial motor, contract works, corporate travel, cyber liability, directors and officers, farm, general property, industrial special risks, machinery breakdown, management liability, motor trade, professional indemnity, public and product liability, rural, strata, and tax audit cover. Underlying technology consists of a shared 'National broker network platform' providing integration, administrative support systems, and digital workflow tools to streamline operations across member brokerages. The group also publishes quarterly Market Insights Reports aggregating industry data and broker feedback.

Aviso Group operates a commission-based brokerage revenue model, with brokers remunerated by insurers through commissions, fees, or a combination, disclosed before policies are arranged. The broader Envest group, of which Aviso is the largest broker network, has $2.3bn+ in GWP and 376,000+ active policies; Aviso Group alone places $670m+ in GWP (rising to $954.6m following the November 2024 Bendigo Insurance Brokers acquisition). Aviso is controlled by Envest, a private equity firm that has been part of The Ardonagh Group since 2023, and pursues growth through a roll-up strategy of acquiring and partnering with established regional brokerages while preserving their local ownership and brand identity.
