Why Mining & Resources Businesses Choose Polaris

We don’t sell insurance. We solve problems.
Access to Multiple Insurers

We compare policies across a panel of Australian and international insurers, including specialist mining and resources underwriters, to find insurance suited to your operation and its risk profile, whether you run a single site or several.

Market Conditions, Tracked for You

Commercial insurance pricing moves with the market, and mining has its own cycles of capacity and appetite, particularly for environmental and heavy plant exposure. We monitor it on your behalf and tell you honestly whether now is the time to review your insurance or hold.

Sector Specialists

We understand that a mining or resources business carries plant risk, environmental risk, statutory risk and people risk simultaneously — and that the right insurance program looks different for a mining company than for a contractor, consultancy or exploration business. We build around your specific operation, not a generic package.

Full Claims Support

When something goes wrong, we manage your claim from lodgement to settlement. You deal with us, not the insurer — one point of contact, start to finish.

Most mining and resources businesses find the gaps in their insurance during a review — not during a claim. Have your insurance program reviewed by a specialist who understands plant, environmental and statutory exposure. We'll identify coverage gaps, redundancies, and potential savings, at no cost, before your next renewal.
