Background information regarding insurance offered through History Queensland Inc.

Every year at our AGM, the members choose the insurance broker for the following year.

Our current broker is Christine Reith from AJ Gallagher, who is based in Brisbane. Every year, Christine conducts a comparison survey, and at present, Community Underwriting Agency Pty Ltd is the insurer for the History Queensland master policy.

The placement of the History Queensland master policy with Community Underwriting Agency Pty Ltd was based on the following:

Specialised Not For Profit insurer with over 25 years of experience working with Not for Profits
Not For Profit policy wording written specifically for community groups and member associations
Tailored master policy for History Queensland and the member groups
Competitive premiums against general insurers with comparable wordings and coverage

We have seen a number of events (fire, floods) in Australia in recent years, with insurance companies paying out millions of dollars, resulting in increased premiums across the board. As with most things, we can expect some increases over the coming years.
