Insurance Jobs in Australia

Insurance industry professionals are typically involved in selling different types of insurance including life, home, accident, industrial and car policies to individuals and organisations. Insurance brokers act as independent agents and will sell policies from a wide range of providers according to their client's requirements.
Insurance brokers will generally contact potential clients and arrange phone calls or interviews so that they can discuss the client's particular needs and suggest an appropriate policy. When discussing potential policies the insurance broker should outline the risks covered by each policy, the premium the client will have to pay and the how much they can typically expect to be paid if they make a claim. Registration or licensing is typically required.
As well as selling insurance policies to individuals and businesses, insurance industry professionals may also help clients choose suitable coverage and terms and assist them in settling claims. Usually they concentrate on one or two specialities within an insurance field. They need to be able to effectively explain policy options and be able to customise policies for clients as well as calculate premiums. They are also required to evaluate the condition and risk-worthiness of assets and property, cultivate new leads and maintain policy records.
