From livestock cover to your farm vehicles, Bridges Insurance Services has you covered.
Farm insurance from Bridges Insurance Services can cover you for everything from buildings to products. Farming is an industry that includes many hazards so rural liability insurance is essential to your insurance portfolio.

"We use an Accountant to work the taxes, so for us, it is only sensible to use a Broker to manage the insurance for our businesses."
"Insurance is like paying taxes – it is something you have to do! Making sure that I don’t pay too much and finding a way to reduce the time it takes to do the paperwork are two key issues I have always had. We use an Accountant to work the taxes, so for us, it is only sensible to use a Broker to manage the insurance for our businesses.
Someone referred Chris Rolfe from Bridges to me many years ago, so I met up with him to see what he had to offer. What made me choose to work with Chris and Bridges Insurance Services was their energy, enthusiasm, professionalism and commitment. Furthermore, he is always organised, prepared and you get a strong sense he is working for you. It’s the timeliness and rapid response that sets him apart from the rest and makes insurance easy. Even now, years later, these attributes are still there!
I know when I ring Bridges with a question or need some advice, I will get an answer that I don’t have to wait weeks for. What I get every time is honest, knowledgeable answers that allow me to make confident decisions on. Time filling out paperwork for claims is something I don’t want to be doing – frankly I don’t have the amount of time needed to do it. Chris and the team at Bridges take the hassle out of paperwork.
And finally another service that I find really useful is the annual review. What’s great about this is that Chris has already reviewed the market before talking with me and is able to offer advice about any changes I need to consider for the following year. This saves me time and often saves me money!
Being in business is time consuming, so when there is a more efficient way of doing something, I do it. The team at Bridges are straight up, efficient and honest which I appreciate and definitely recommend to others."

For most policies, we are remunerated by the insurer when you take out cover arranged by us. This includes renewals and changes you make throughout the year.
The remuneration we receive is a percentage of the company premium & company natural disaster premium you are charged. All other levies, Government charges and taxes are collected without us earning income on these.
In addition, to enable us to provide you with a high level of service we may also apply an Administration Charge which will be shown on your invoice.
When you enter into a contract of insurance you have a legal duty to disclose to the insurer all facts that are material to the risk. This would include all information you know or could reasonably be expected to know that would influence the judgment of a prudent insurer in accepting or declining an insurance risk or in fixing the premium or terms or conditions of the contract.
