Saltwater Insurance Consultants

We know it. Backwards, forwards, and often round about. We’re doing it for our clients right now, day after day – from mine sites to long haul freight to linen and laundry services, and pretty much everything in between.

We provide traditional workers’ compensation advisory and support services for some of Australia’s largest and geographically diverse employers, and we’ve helped a number of them take control of their safety, rehabilitation and compensation responsibilities by entering into Self-Insurance schemes.

We understand the corporate pressures brought to bear on those responsible for managing the Workers’ compensation spend – both Chris Stannage and John Sullivan have held that role in large Australian employers – and can provide strategic advice that is relevant all the way to the C-Suite, as well as the shop floor. We have the happy knack of providing advice that often results in substantial savings.

We do the statutory bits, like Compliance and Audit testing against relevant standards – but we don’t just stop there. We always prepare an advisory report alongside the formal audit findings, to enable our clients to reach for the next rung of performance.

We deal with regulators, both State and Commonwealth. We understand their drivers, their pressure points and the legislative framework and restrictions within which they operate. And we like to share our relationships with our clients, so that a direct and meaningful dialogue is established not just in the short term, but over the years as programs develop.

We know the underwriters – heck, John Sullivan has been one! And so when it comes to managing a program, dealing with financial modelling of claims portfolios, and being a strong advocate to underwriters on our client’s behalf, we are ideally placed.

And we can write systems, processes and procedures that are plain language, relevant to our client and its staff, and in compliance with ever developing legislative and commercial needs.

So if any of this sounds like it might be relevant to you, or a colleague, don’t hesitate to call either Chris Stannage or John Sullivan to explore how the Saltwater team can assist.
