✅ What stock and station agent insurance needs to cover
- Professional indemnity — liability for errors in advice, valuations, agency services and property management
- Public liability — injury or property damage claims at saleyards, farms, auctions and client properties
- Business assets — office contents, equipment and mobile assets used in agency operations
- Motor vehicles — fleet of agency vehicles including utes, trucks and livestock transport
- Goods in transit / livestock — liability for livestock in your care during transport or at sale
- Management liability — directors and officers liability for agency partnerships and companies
⚠️ Common gaps for stock and station agents
- Professional indemnity undervalued — advice on large livestock transactions creates significant PI exposure
- Livestock in care liability absent — responsibility for animals in your care not covered under standard PI
- Motor fleet underinsured — agency vehicles and livestock trucks need current agreed values
- Saleyard liability — injuries at saleyards involve multiple parties and need clear liability coverage
- Property management activities creating separate PI exposure not covered under standard PI
How stock and station agent cover is structured
- 1) Activities — livestock sales, property sales, pastoral leasing, merchandise, livestock transport
- 2) Revenue — total agency revenue and breakdown by activity type
- 3) Vehicle fleet — all vehicles including livestock transport units
- 4) Goods in care — maximum value of livestock or property in your care at any time
- 5) Claims history — any prior PI or liability claims or circumstances
Making a claim
- Notify us immediately for any incident at a saleyard, client property or in transit
- Document livestock deaths, injuries or escapes with veterinary records
- Preserve transaction records, advice correspondence and valuation documents
- Do not admit liability or make offers without involving the insurer
Who this suits
- Stock and station agents with livestock agency operations
- Rural agents managing pastoral and mixed use properties
- Agency partnerships with professional advice and transaction services
Renewal checklist
- Review PI limit against the maximum value of transactions handled
- Confirm livestock in care liability is specifically included
- Update vehicle fleet schedule at renewal
- Check property management PI is separately addressed if that service has grown

❓ Common questions
Here are questions we are commonly asked about stock and station agent insurance by clients across the Granite Belt and New England.
- How much does stock and station agent insurance cost? Premium depends on your specific situation — activities, asset values, cover type and claims history all affect the price. We compare options across multiple insurers and explain the differences clearly.
- Do I need a broker or can I go direct? You can approach insurers directly, but a broker compares multiple markets, structures cover to match your specific needs and advocates for you at claim time. For regional and rural risks, broker access often finds options not available direct.
- What happens when I need to claim? Contact us immediately. We manage the notification, help document the loss, liaise with the insurer and assessors, and advocate for a fair outcome.
- How do I know if I am underinsured? Your sum insured should reflect full replacement cost at today’s prices. We review sums insured at every renewal and flag concerns before a claim makes the shortfall real.
