Defence, advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, and healthcare. South Australia's growth sectors carry risk profiles that standard policies weren't built for.
Adelaide’s economy has been transformed by the defence and advanced manufacturing investment of the last decade. Companies contracting to the submarine program, the Hunter-class frigates, and the broader defence supply chain carry risk profiles — intellectual property liability, security obligations, complex subcontractor chains — that most commercial policies aren’t designed for. The agribusiness and wine sector carries product liability and business interruption exposure that a generalist insurer often misunderstands. Healthcare in South Australia operates under specific regulatory frameworks that affect malpractice and clinical liability requirements. We work with Adelaide businesses to find insurers who understand the sector, not just the policy class.

Defence contracting in South Australia introduces insurance requirements that don’t exist in most commercial contexts: security of information obligations, government-mandated indemnity clauses, and subcontractor liability chains that extend through multiple tiers. The Commonwealth procurement framework imposes specific insurance requirements on defence suppliers that differ from state government or private sector contracts. We understand the defence supply chain and what appropriate cover looks like for SA businesses operating within it.
We’ll review your current cover, go to specialist insurers who understand SA’s growth sectors, and give you a full comparison. No obligation, at no charge.
