Authorised Services

We hold a domestic and international transit insurance policy. When you instruct us to do so we can arrange for this policy to cover you.

We will give you a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), which is issued by the insurance company. This will describe the main features of the policy. You should read the PDS to help you decide if the policy suits your needs, objectives and financial situation.

If you need advice or your insurance needs are different from the cover available in our policy, we can refer you to Australian Risk Applications Pty Ltd who will be able to assist you.

How we are paid

For arranging for you to be insured under our policy, we are remunerated. This remuneration is a percentage of the annual premium paid to the insurance company less their expenses and less any claims paid. The remuneration varies depending on the annual claims performance of the insurance policy.

Our staff who arrange your insurance are paid a salary. They do not receive remuneration for arranging insurance for you.

In addition, Australian Risk Applications Pty Ltd receives remuneration such as fees and commissions for arranging the insurance.

Do we have professional Indemnity Insurance:

During the term of this agreement, National Freight Management will maintain in force Professional Indemnity Insurance against negligent acts, errors and omissions.

We Only Provide General Advice:

We will give you factual information about the relevant insurance products to help you decide whether to buy them. In some cases, we may make a general recommendation or give an opinion about them. Any such advice we provide to you is of a general nature only and does not take your personal needs, objectives or financial situation into account. You need to consider the appropriateness of any information or advice we give you, having regard to your personal needs, objectives or financial situation, before acting on it.
