Melbourne-based Insurance House has acquired an insurance brokerage in central Victoria as the group continues to expand its reach.

“The acquisition of Maw Insurance further deepens our connection with regional Victoria where we have been a key community partner for over 35 years,” Head of Broking Scott Leis said.

“Regional and rural Australia is an important part of our DNA, supported by our other recent acquisitions in Taree and Shepparton.”

Maw Insurance MD Dennis Maw says joining with Insurance House will provide support as the brokerage has become busier.

“Having worked with the group as authorised representatives for a number of years now, we felt comfortable that we shared the same values,” he said.

Insurance House acquired Shepparton-based O’Sullivan Insurance Brokers early this year and also has regional Victorian offices in Echuca, Kyabram and Boort.

It now has 13 office locations around Australia and more than 40 authorised representatives.
