Insurance and risk management built around how healthcare businesses actually operate.

HARM works with organisations across the healthcare and medical sector to put insurance and risk management programmes in place that reflect the reality of the ever-changing risks and challenges they face.

We are proud to serve this invaluable pillar of Australian communities and support them in achieving their goals and delivering the critical services that allow us all to flourish.

Who we work with


The healthcare industry covers a wide range of business types and structures. We work with businesses including, but not limited to:

  • Medical and dental clinics
  • Private and day hospitals
  • Manufacturers and distributors of healthcare products
  • Allied health practices and NDIS service providers
  • Community and not-for-profit organisations

We add value to healthcare businesses undergoing growth and transformation, acquisition, or looking to undertake improvements in governance and management structure, in addition to mature, scaled organisations seeking to optimise existing arrangements.

What makes us different


While management and transfer of client risk is our primary concern, we undertake this with an eye towards genuine alignment with your business, return on investment on your insurance costs, and maximum capital efficiency.

We achieve this by:

  • Having frank discussions around your business' risk tolerances, exposures, appetites, and drivers. We understand there is no 'one size fits all' approach to insurance in healthcare.
  • Closely monitoring the fast-changing regulatory landscape and ensuring insurance programmes are designed flexibly and sustainably to accommodate this change.
  • Working with you to balance proactive and reactive risk management strategies with your practical operational and contractual requirements.

We understand that no single healthcare business is the same, stakeholder requirements vary, and commercial landscapes shift.

We are astute in ensuring our clients navigate their risks with our full backing and advocacy as advisers.

Key covers for healthcare businesses

A healthcare insurance programme is rarely a single policy. Depending on your business, it may include:

01 Business Insurance and Property

Cover for physical assets and business property, medical equipment and stock, and business interruption to ensure operational continuity in the face of a damaging event.

02 Public and Product Liability

Protection for your business if a patient, visitor or member of the public is injured, or third-party property is damaged, in connection with your business.

03 Medical Malpractice

Cover for claims arising from errors, omissions or alleged negligence in the clinical or professional services you provide, either at a practitioner or company level.

04 Directors and Officers / Management Liability

Protection for the people governing your organisation, extending to statutory breaches, employment issues, white collar crime, and more.

05 Cyber Insurance

Cover for interruption and financial costs incurred by your business, or your liabilities to third parties arising from cyber events such as loss of patient records, or ransomware attack.

06 Abuse Liability Insurance

Cover for organisations working with vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly or people with disability. Read more →

Our market engagement


Healthcare is a heavily regulated sector, and healthcare businesses should be partnered with the appropriate, specialist insurers. We maintain strong relationships with insurers both domestically and internationally with the capacity to support any and all healthcare risks.

Our ability to seek competitive, specialty markets, and strategic alternatives where needed separates HARM from other brokerages. By leveraging our strategic insurer partnerships and market access we deliver superior results and find solutions where others can't.
