“The claims experience was made so easy.” – Scott B., Google review
Real reviews from employers 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.”
“Dan Stewart organised everything for me including personal injury/workers comp insurance with less than 24 hours notice. Great work mate, you turned a painful experience into a great and relatively easy experience.”
“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.”
“Many thanks Toby. We approached you at short notice with highly complicated Business Insurance requirements that involved business insurance, public liability and workers compensation. Our industry is finding it increasingly difficult to find competitive insurance and many do not want to take on the challenge. You were quick to get details and kept us informed throughout the process. We are very satisfied with the end result…”
“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!”
“Thanks to Matt Silk for help to organise workers compensation insurance for my employees.”
“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 workers compensation insurance for Australian employers.
If a worker employed by you suffers a workplace injury or disease, the workers compensation scheme may provide the injured worker with weekly benefits, medical and hospital expenses, rehabilitation services, certain personal items and a lump sum payment for permanent impairment, on the basis set by the particular scheme. Shielded Insurance will shop the insurance market and provide you with our most competitive offer – this could save you time and money.
Yes. Workers' compensation is a compulsory statutory form of insurance for all employers in Australia.
The amount of workers compensation premium your business must pay is regulated by the state or territory government based on a formula used in that jurisdiction. Generally, it is based on the amount of wages you pay your employees, the industry your business operates in and the claims history of your business.
We quote workers compensation for employers in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania, where cover is arranged through approved private insurers. In the other states, workers compensation is managed through a state scheme – call us on 1800 97 98 99 and we can help with your other business insurance.
Common claims include falls and slips at work, rehabilitation costs, wages while unable to work, medical expenses, transportation incidents, contact with objects and equipment, exposure to harmful substances, fires and explosions, violence and other injuries by persons or animals, overexertion, electrocution and impact incidents.
Some business occupations and activities are at a higher risk of workers compensation claims, and these are generally faced with higher premiums – for example transport operators, roofers, logging workers, steel workers, farmers, labour-intensive occupations, electricians and power line installers.
If a worker is injured, contact us at Shielded Insurance on 1800 97 98 99. Claims can be notified 24/7 and we'll guide you through the process with the insurer.
