About Us

We can help you face your future with confidence.

Who we are

Gallagher is an international insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting firm, operating in 45+ countries. We are the chosen partner to more than 100,000 Australian businesses, from small businesses through to multinational corporations and iconic brands.

Through our network of more than 30 regional and metropolitan branches across Australia, we understand local business communities because we are part of them ourselves.

Our company purpose

We help you face your future with confidence.

Everything we provide in insurance, risk management and consulting services comes down to that one simple and powerful truth. We believe that in every organisation, and in every person, there are dreams, desires and potential waiting to be fulfilled. We’ve never seen this business as “What might go wrong?”

Our background

Arthur J. Gallagher founded the business in a basement office in Chicago in 1917. Our Global Chairman, CEO and President, J. Patrick Gallagher – Arthur’s grandson – started as an intern in 1972 and has worked to carry on his family legacy: to protect businesses of all shapes and sizes and to help them grow with confidence. Gallagher has remained true to its’ origins of having the heart of a family business culture.

The Gallagher approach mirrors our commitment to anywhere, anytime, any size customers. We can without hesitation recommend the company as a superior fuel transport insurer.

Tony Hartin, Director Refuelling Solutions

Their background research and attention to detail give me significant confidence in all things insurance, including any claim processes.

Gavin Pendergast, Managing Director and co-founder Bulk Fuel

The Gallagher team ensures insurance is one area of VFS’s business where we do not have to worry and can rely 100% on the professionals to get the job done.

Clayton Forbes, Director, Finance Victorian Freight Specialists

I have complete faith in what Gallagher can provide my business to get the right insured outcome.

Greg Maher, National Credit Manager Dicker Data Ltd

I have found everyone at Gallagher to be very helpful over the years. They definitely have the customer’s interests as their top priority.

Times change, ethics don’t

The world has changed a lot in our 90-plus years in business but one thing remains consistent: ethics. Our business operates a little differently from other insurance brokers out there, we are the only brokerage in the world to be named one of the World’s Most Ethical companies and we’ve done it eight times in a row. That means that our 850+ offices in over 30 countries all operate in a way that upholds ethical business practices and puts your business first.

We have been recognised in 2020 as a ‘World’s Most Ethical’ company for the 9th consecutive year, and the only insurance broker globally to achieve this award.

Why Gallagher: local and global

We are so much more than an insurance broker – think of us as your trusted advisor and business partner who can help you out when something unexpected happens. We understand the communities that you call home because we are part of them too. From Alice Springs to Wagga Wagga, we are present in every state in territory and our network of more than 30 branches spans both regional and metro areas. We also offer the distinct advantage of access to global insurance, risk solutions and partners – a critical benefit in the insurance market where negotiating and accessing the best insurance placement solutions is strongly enabled by this global capability.
