Jason Doueihi named Insurance Business Elite Broker for 2026

Greystanes, NSW – April 9, 2026 – Insurance Business has named Jason Doueihi, Director of WCS Insurance Brokers, among its Elite Brokers 2026, recognising him as one of the top-performing insurance advisers in Australia and New Zealand. Ranked No. 22 (tie) on the prestigious list, Doueihi joins a select group of brokers measured on balanced commercial performance, including new clients, policies written and revenue growth.

With more than 20 years in the insurance industry, Doueihi has built a deep, practical understanding of how policies work in the real world and where the fine print can make a critical difference to outcomes. He specialises in general insurance, including workers’ compensation, helping businesses navigate cover requirements and providing expert advice and claims support across a broad range of risks.

At WCS, Doueihi leads the brokerage’s portfolio management, new business development and ongoing policy strategy, ensuring insurance programs align closely with each client’s operations and risk profile. Renewals and client activity are tracked through a CRM system that flags key milestones and supports consistent engagement.

Relationship building underpins his growth strategy, with much of his new business coming via professional referral partners who rely on him to support their clients with reliable service and advice. “Referral partners trust that their clients will receive the service and delivery they expect, and that trust is what drives the relationship,” he says.

Doueihi’s leadership focuses on transparent guidance, tailored solutions and consistently high service standards, keeping clients protected today and better positioned for tomorrow’s risks and opportunities.

The proposed reforms to NSW Workers' Compensation system, focusing on changes to mental injury benefits are in the final stages. The Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 has passed the lower house and is set for a final vote in the upper house.

The government argues that the reforms are necessary to prevent a projected 36% increase in insurance premiums by 2028, which could burden businesses with an additional $1 billion annually. Key changes include a gradual increase in the whole person impairment threshold for accessing benefits and damages, from 25% in October to over 30% by July 1 next year.

However, the Law Society of NSW has expressed concerns, stating that the proposed changes may exclude many individuals with psychological injuries from accessing the scheme. They suggest starting the threshold at 20% to ensure that severely impacted individuals can still make a claim. The Law Society has called for a return to the design stage with meaningful consultation involving diverse stakeholders.

The outcome of the upper house vote will determine the future of these reforms.
