Through our purpose of keeping farmers farming, we provide a direct and personal approach to farm insurance.
Located throughout rural Australia, our Farm Insurance Specialists live and breathe farming. Your local Farm Insurance Specialist will go the extra mile to walk the farm with you. Because the first step in helping you protect your farm is getting to know it. Whether your focus is on poultry, dairy, livestock, broadacre, horticulture or glasshouses, our Farm Insurance Specialists are backed by 200 years of international farm insurance expertise.
Equipped with a unique understanding of local farming conditions, your local Achmea Farm Insurance Specialist will walk your farm as part of our on-farm approach to insurance.
We combine our expertise with your knowledge of the farm, to give you a quote. After all, no one understands your farm and business better than you do.
Let Achmea walk the farm with you and discover farm insurance – the way it should be done.
