2 We ve been helping Australians create secure financial futures since 1840 More than anything else, Australian Unity exists to serve its clients. It is the way we conduct our business now as one of Australia s leading financial services institutions, and the way we have conducted our business for more than 175 years. This can be traced back to 1840 when one of our forebears, Manchester Unity, was established as a friendly society. Manchester Unity s purpose was for its members to make weekly contributions to a common fund, which paid benefits to those members who became ill, lost work, or who otherwise suffered financial hardship. Back in an era when the government supplied minimal community services and benefits, Manchester Unity provided vital financial security to its members. It was a financial service based on mutual trust and dependability, and it is an ideal Australian Unity still holds true today. Since those early days, our range of services has evolved to meet the changing needs of our clients, and we now offer private health cover, property and funds management, retirement villages & aged care facilities, insurances, and personal financial services. And while we are a major provider of financial services in Australia with substantial resources, we will always be driven by our community-based values and our heritage of helping Australians to create secure financial futures.

3 A customised insurance solution can help make sure you and your business are financially protected should the unexpected happen Our General Insurance Broking service is designed to help ensure your business will be in a strong financial position should an unexpected setback occur such as damage to property, theft of stock or equipment, personal injury or a liability case being brought against you. We aim to ensure your business will be appropriately covered for financial losses relating to the unforeseen event, as well as costs you face if you have to cease trading. To help ensure you have comprehensive cover, our experienced general insurance brokers will take the time to understand your business and to identify and evaluate its unique risks that require insuring. We will then design a tailored insurance solution that will provide your business with the level of cover with which you are comfortable. We will then search our panel of reputable insurers to find the policies that best suit your situation. We take into account each insurer s ability to pay claims, their cover and underwriting approach, as well as their willingness to work with you to solve problems in a timely manner. We also take into account insurances you may already hold, your business turnover and size, your budget and operating history, the nature of your industry, as well as how you like to manage risk. In addition, we take into account the policy features you require and, of course, we will aim to find you a very competitive premium. We then help you complete the application and other paperwork to ensure your insurance is processed as quickly and smoothly as possible. Of course, we hope you never have to make a claim. But if you do, we will be there to assist you with the paperwork and liaise with the insurer on your behalf.
