ABOUT US

Our Story

Ovens Valley Insurance Brokers (OVIB) has been providing general insurance advice since 1997. We are based in Myrtleford and Bright and service clients all over Australia. At OVIB we believe that all clients are equal and aim to provide the most appropriate insurance solutions for each client, from a small one-off car insurance policy or a large business portfolio.

We believe in providing the highest level of customer service, expert advice and risk management by accessing our knowledge of the insurance industry and modern technology in all our business activities. We aim to simplify the transaction between you and insurance providers and tailor solutions to meet all needs.

Expert advice

Behind every OVIB insurance broker is a wealth of knowledge and the strength of the Steadfast Group; Australasia’s largest general insurance broker network.

Value for Money

Get the appropriate cover without devoting countless hours to learning about the finer points of insurance. OVIB insurance brokers can not only offer quality advice and arrange better coverage, but also be your claims advocate if the need arises.

Peace of Mind

From understanding your business, to helping you through the claims process, OVIB brokers work for you, not the insurers.

Service

Anyone who has compared car or home insurance policies knows how time consuming it can be. Choosing business insurance can be even more complex because of the range of risks. An OVIB broker can be invaluable to your business.

Why use an insurance broker?

Insurance can be overwhelming

Understanding what insurance you need can be complex. And it can be devastating if you get it wrong. It pays to have an insurance expert on your side.

An OVIB Broker works for you, not the insurer. We take the time to understand your business and the risks you face. We pride ourselves in being local and supporting locals with their associated risk.

Having access to the Steadfast network, you have access to policies from more than 150 national and international insurers – so you can feel confident you have all the cover you need.

The OVIB Broker difference

Experience

Our brokers know a lot about insurance. But they also specialise in working with businesses across a wide range of industries. This experience means they can help identify risks that are specific to your type of business – and quickly find the right policy options to match.

Negotiating Power

As part of the Steadfast network, our brokers have the power to negotiate more competitive prices and better policy terms. That means broader coverage and customised options – so you can feel confident your business’s future is secure.

Strength

Steadfast brokers are part of Australasia’s largest general insurance broker network, which manages more than 3.6 million policies for small to medium businesses. So you can benefit from the strength and security that comes from scale, with the personal attention of your own OVIB broker.

Save time

Our brokers can take the time to understand your business and personal insurance and tailor a policy to match – taking the hard work out of getting the right cover. We can do the research, arrange it all and manage the administration when you need to claim. So you can focus on what’s important.

Save money

As part of the Steadfast network, we can often negotiate lower prices for clients. Plus, our knowledge of the insurance market cycle and our efficient claims advocacy can help us to keep your cover cost-effective over the years.

Stress less

With an OVIB broker, you can feel confident you have the right cover for your business, whatever your insurance needs. You can be supported by the strength of Steadfast, and you can have a dedicated advocate should you need to claim. You can speak directly with your broker as often as you need to.
