About Us

We’ve been providing quality insurance for years

At Miramar, we believe that businesses should have access to comprehensive insurance solutions that protect against key property, liability and engineering risks.

We have a long history of supporting brokers to manage their clients’ risk exposures. We proactively seek to develop a deep understanding of the clients’ business so that we are able to offer the best possible terms and quality cover.

Steadily building its base, Miramar has earned its reputable place in the market through its unwavering commitment to communication, premium affordability and policy coverage. Brokers have shown their appreciation for our outstanding service four years in a row, awarding us with silver and bronze medals in the Insurance Business Australia ‘Brokers on Underwriting Agencies’ surveys (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019).

 

Quality solutions, strategic partnerships

Security

Superior service

Sometimes it’s easiest to talk through a client’s situation to ensure their solution is matched to their needs. Our team provide personal service and adept advice, so brokers can give their clients the support they need, when they need it most. Our reserving policy means that we give priority to fully-completed submissions, in the order in which they’re received.
