“The claims experience was made so easy.” – Scott B., Google review
Real reviews from pilots, operators and businesses we've insured across Australia.
“Ben has been absolutely outstanding to work with. He saved Goulburn Transport a substantial amount of money, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. His professionalism, knowledge, and can-do attitude were first class from start to finish. Ben went above and beyond, made the whole process simple, and delivered real value for our business.”
“As a CASA-certified drone pilot it's imperative that I have excellent insurance coverage for all my drone operations, and Shielded Insurance has been providing that coverage for the past four years. Bri Meredith from Shielded was very proactive in contacting me recently, well in advance of my 2024 renewal anniversary, and also kindly assisted me in making some small changes to my policy details. Bri's telephone & email follow-ups were greatly appreciated, and her attention to detail and commitment to customer service were evident every step of the way. I have no hesitation in recommending Bri Meredith and Shielded Insurance to anyone requiring comprehensive and cost-effective insurance, and who appreciates great customer service.”
“I had an excellent experience with Shielded Insurance Brokers, and especially with Dan who looked after my claim. The entire process was handled with professionalism, patience, and clear communication from start to finish… His support genuinely made a stressful situation much easier to manage, and thanks to his help my business was able to keep running without interruption.”
“We as a business have entrusted Shielded insurance brokers for many years & will continue to do so. Their knowledge & expertise is exceptional & they go the extra mile no matter what. Great team, great service & always chasing the best deal!”
“We have been insured with Shielded for the last year and unfortunately had a break and enter and lost very valuable equipment. Alex Shipman and all the team at Shielded were excellent to deal with and managed my claim and had everything finalised fast. I’ve never had to make a claim like this and only ever heard bad stories so I assumed this was going to drag out for 6-9 months but I’d say we barely made it over 6 weeks. Very happy.”
“I had quotes from previous brokers and the pricing was outrageous. Kharn was my contact at Shielded. He was a legend. Did the work. Got multiple quotes fast, he was on the phone ringing me about any additional questions the insurance companies required from our company so he could get the quotes completed promptly. Highly recommend.”
“The service was professional, responsive, and efficient throughout my recent insurance claim. They took much of the stress and hard work off my shoulders, guided me through the process, and helped achieve a quick resolution. Communication was excellent, and I always felt supported and informed.”
“Have had a long and stressful challenge dealing with my insurer however it turns out that my insurance broker actually provides the help! Worth going through a broker that really knows their stuff.”
“Tim Cantwell from the very first conversation has been a pleasure to deal with! Knows his stuff, responds instantly and is always available. First class customer service!!! A++ Thanks Tim!!!!”

We know aviation insurance and insurance for aircraft owners and operators.
We offer a comprehensive range of aviation insurance products including hull insurance, liability insurance, hangarkeepers liability, aviation business insurance, and cover for specific aircraft types such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and jets.
Hull insurance covers physical damage to the aircraft itself, whether on the ground or in flight. Liability insurance, on the other hand, covers legal liability for passenger injuries, environmental damage or third-party property damage caused by the aircraft.
Aviation liability insurance is essential for all aircraft operators, whether you're flying a small private plane or managing a commercial fleet. It protects you against claims from third parties for injuries or damage caused by your aircraft.
Our aviation insurance policies can cover a wide range of aircraft, including general aviation planes, ultralights, helicopters, corporate jets and more. We tailor cover to the specific needs of your aircraft and operations.
Hangarkeepers liability insurance covers the risk of damage to aircraft that are in your care, custody or control, typically when stored in hangars. This is vital for businesses that provide hangar space or aircraft maintenance services.
The cost of aviation insurance depends on several factors, including the type of aircraft, its use (commercial or private), pilot experience, the value of the aircraft and the level of cover required. We work with multiple insurers to find competitive premiums for your needs.
It's recommended to review your aviation insurance policy annually, or whenever there is a significant change in your operations – such as acquiring a new aircraft or expanding your business. Regular reviews make sure your cover remains adequate.
Yes, we offer specialised pilot cover, including personal accident insurance and professional indemnity for pilots, so all aspects of your aviation activities are insured.
Depending on your operations, you may want to consider additional cover such as business interruption, cyber insurance for your aviation business, or specific cover for ground support equipment. Our brokers can advise you on the best options to protect your business.
