Trade Risk is Australia’s most awarded trade insurance specialist.
Since helping our first client over a decade ago we’ve had the privilege of assisting over 10,000 trade business owners with their insurance needs.
From humble beginnings in a home office in Brisbane, we’ve grown to an award-winning business with thousands of clients in all states and territories of Australia.
Although much has changed over the years, we’re still proud to be a family-owned Australian business with the same focus on supporting our clients, many of which are also family-owned businesses.
We strive to be the very best at what we do, and in 2024 we were recognised as the best in Australia, winning at the Australian Insurance Industry Awards and the Insurance Business Awards.
Whether you need a quick and easy public liability policy, or want to sit down with a broker to map out a full business insurance plan, we have the team to help.
Our clients range from sole traders and subbies through to multi-million dollar building companies, spread across every corner of the country.
We specialise in public liability, personal accident and tool insurance, as well as full business insurance packages, for all trades working in the building and construction industry.
