Clear Insurance has become a Steadfast Network Broker, ending a 12-year stint as a Corporate Authorised Representative (AR) of Insurance Advisernet. 

MD Lisa Carter says it is time for the brokerage, based in Ascot, Queensland, to step out of the AR model and continue to build Clear Insurance as a standalone business in partnership with the Steadfast Group. 

“Our goal is not to build another AR network in an already saturated marketplace,” Ms Carter said. 

“Our goal is to meet client needs and present insurers with high-quality, reliable business by continuing to build a highly coveted and rewarding workplace for our team – from a personal, professional, and financial perspective. 

“We’re delighted to have the support, resources, technologies and strength of Steadfast behind us as Australian Financial Services Licence holders.” 

Ms Carter founded the business 12 years ago as an Insurance Advisernet Corporate AR following an 11-year career with Aon, which included being an AR to the global broker for seven years. 

She says Clear Insurance remains steadfast in its commitment to offering advice to clients on a transparent fee-for-service remuneration model. 

“We charge fees commensurate with our work to support our clients’ success,” Ms Carter said. 

“Our approach reinforces our value as business advisers, so we’re not interested in under-cutting our competitors or driving clients to make price-focused decisions which may risk under-insurance.”
