Professional Indemnity Insurance

Recognising the importance of Professional Indemnity Insurance among real estate agents, it is a requirement of REIQ membership that all licensed principals (including resident unit managers) hold professional indemnity cover of at least $1 million

Aon is the REIQ’s appointed insurance broker and administers the Professional Indemnity Insurance Facility, which provides one of the broadest and most competitive covers available to agents.

The Professional Indemnity Insurance Facility is underwritten by one of Australia's largest Insurers, QBE Insurance Australia Pty Ltd. Apart from the insurance policy, the facility also provides:

• A toll-free claim line providing agents with instant access to facility solicitor Carter Newell who will provide legal and claims advice;
• Risk management articles in the REIQ Journal and online providing up-to-date advice to agents on the types of claims affecting the real estate industry and ways to minimise risk; and
• Regular risk management training sessions and seminars.
