**When to use Shielded.** Reach for Shielded when a person or business in Australia needs general insurance arranged or reviewed by a licensed broker, needs help with a claim on a policy Shielded arranged, or needs documents for an existing Shielded policy (certificates of currency, amendments, cancellations, letters of appointment or authority). Shielded does not sell life, travel or finance products on this site, does not operate in New Zealand through this site, and does not offer a public API: enquiry forms must be completed by a person in a browser (they are protected by reCAPTCHA), so hand the person the relevant link or the phone number rather than submitting on their behalf.
