You may have cyber insurance, but are you sure your coverage is optimal for your business?

Cyber criminals are getting smarter, and the costs associated with cyberattacks are skyrocketing. An outdated or insufficient policy can leave your business vulnerable to significant financial losses.

Getting your coverage regularly reviewed and updated, not only keeps your business protected, it gives you the peace of mind you deserve.

Don’t wait for an attack to test your coverage. Schedule a review with our experts today to ensure you're not exposed:

With Australia facing a trade shortage and a housing crisis, looking after the health and well-being of tradies is more important than ever.👷

Over the past year, tradies have faced numerous challenges. A recent survey by APA revealed:

→ Over 90% of tradies experienced work-related injuries or pain in the past year, with 90% of these injuries caused or worsened by work.

→ 24% fear they will need to retire early due to stress on their bodies.

→ 42% described their pain as severe, with some suffering for months or even years.

This month, let's make a conscious effort to invest in the health of our tradies. Whether you know one, love one, or manage a team, their well-being should be a priority. 🤝

Last week, we had the opportunity to learn from Penne, who has extensive underwriting experience, about creating great submissions and placing suitable insurance for clients. 📝

We learned valuable lessons over lunch, and those who couldn't make it attended on Teams — our Managing Director, Tryan, even tuned in from the other side of the world.

We couldn’t be prouder to have extremely experienced staff who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. 🙌

This Mother's Day, we're taking a moment to shine a light on all the mums in our Interlink family as well as the incredible mums who are behind our team.

We hope you all feel loved, appreciated and special - not just today, but everyday. 💌

Every year, around 1,200 people are killed and over 40,000 are seriously injured on Australian roads. These numbers increase annually but are preventable if we drive so others survive.

National Road Safety Week encourages all road users to remember those who have lost their lives on our roads, reflect on how we can make our roads safer, and act to make a difference.

We urge everyone to make the pledge to drive without distraction, not to speed, or drive while under the influence at National Road Safety Week's website.

Let's work together to make our roads safer for everyone.
