About WARDi
WARDi has spent years in the marinating process and finally it feels like the right time to launch a LOCAL INSURANCE & AG COMMODITIES BROKING option, that focus’s on local people and the needs of the clients.
WARDi's job as your broker is to make the stressful process of finding the right policy and claims stress free. We will help you navigate your way through the paperwork and ensure your claim is processed as quickly as possible. As your broker it’s our place to make sure you have the correct policy that is tailored to your needs and situation. The last thing anyone wants is a policy that the insures won’t pay out on.
After 16yrs acting as a Grain Accumulator & Buyer - its so nice to be out on my own. WARDi has the access to all the major buyers - if anyone understands the importance of what a Broker can bring it’s Sam.
WARDi has access to over 160 different and trustworthy Insurance companies. As part of the Steadfast Group who is Australiaisa's Largest Insurance Broker Network - with over $2 Billion in policy's written - you know we can get you the best deal. We have also partnered with DUNK Insurance from Southern NSW - if we don't know how to help you, they certainly will.
