Renewing your insurance on autopilot? It's worth a second look. 👀

Life changes fast. A new car, a renovation, a growing business, a change in circumstances - and suddenly the policy you've had for years might not reflect what you actually need to protect.

A quick conversation with our team can make sure your cover is keeping up with your life. No jargon, no pressure - just honest advice from people who know their stuff.

Whether you're carving up black diamond runs or doing the world's most cautious snow plough down the beginner slope (no judgement here), one thing every skier needs is travel insurance.

Experience tells us it's not always your fault on the ski fields. A collision, an unexpected fall, or someone else's mistake can lead to an injury and possibly significant costs, especially when overseas.

🎿 Before your ski trip, make sure your cover protects you and your family, whatever happens. Chat to the team at Dudgeon Berry or get an instant quote at https://dudgeonberry.com.au/travel-insurance/

You may be starting to hear more about El Niño. Here's why it matters for your insurance cover.
El Niño conditions are expected to bring significantly drier and hotter weather across Eastern Australia, and recent briefings from fire management authorities are taking the outlook seriously. Late winter through early spring has been flagged as a critical period, with fuel loads and dryness indicators at levels that warrant close attention.

For property owners, farmers and business operators across regional NSW and the Gold Coast, the time to review your insurance position is now.

A few things worth considering right now:
→ Does your sum insured reflect current rebuild or replacement costs?
→ Are your farm assets, machinery and livestock adequately covered?
→ Does your business interruption cover account for an extended closure?
→ Have your circumstances changed since you last reviewed your policy?

If you'd like to talk through your situation with an experienced broker, we're here.

We shared the exciting news earlier this year but now we finally have the official photo from the day Mike received his medal, and we just had to share it. 🎖️

Michael (Mike) Berry, our Principal here at Dudgeon Berry Insurance Group, was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division as part of the 2026 Australia Day Honours List, recognised for 40 years of dedicated service to the community of Dunoon, NSW.

Four decades of showing up. Of giving back. Of making a difference in a community he genuinely loves.
We are so proud of you, Mike. Congratulations, from all of us at Dudgeon Berry Insurance Group, and from the many clients and community members who know exactly how much you deserve this. 🥂

✋🏼 Stop your dream car becoming your worst nightmare.
Motor vehicle insurance looks straightforward... until you're staring at a claim wondering why the payout doesn't cover what you expected. Agreed value vs market value. What counts as an at-fault incident. Whether modifications are covered. The details that seem minor until they're not.

An experienced broker makes sure you understand your cover before you need to use it and not at the moment you do!
If you think that you might benefit from a review of your motor vehicle (personal or business), we're always happy to help.

Hi, I'm Tahlia, Assistant Account Executive here at Dudgeon Berry 👋🏼 As EOFY approaches, I wanted to share three insurance tax deduction mistakes I see come up each year with our business clients:
1. Claiming life or trauma insurance as a business deduction.
These policies pay a lump sum and are treated by the ATO as capital in nature - not deductible, regardless of whether they're held inside or outside super. This one surprises a lot of people.

2. Not asking for a premium split on combined policies.
If you hold a policy combining income protection with life or TPD cover, only the income protection component is deductible. Your broker can provide this breakdown, but you need to ask. Without it, your tax agent will be guessing.

3. Assuming income protection held in super is deductible.
Income protection premiums are generally deductible but not when paid from super contributions. If your policy sits inside super, the individual deduction doesn't apply.

Insurance structure matters - not just for coverage, but for how your policies interact with your tax position.
I'm not a tax adviser, and I always recommend working with a registered tax agent on your specific situation. But I can make sure your insurance is set up correctly, so the right questions get asked at tax time and not the wrong assumptions.
If a review of your insurance structure ahead of EOFY would help, I'd love to chat. 😊

❄️ 3 common winter insurance claims... and how to avoid them
1. Storm and wind damage 🌧️
Loose roof tiles, damaged gutters, and fallen branches are winter staples. Walk your property before as soon as possible to fix anything that's already borderline.
2. Water damage from leaks and burst pipes 💧
Cold snaps and ageing pipes aren't a great combo. Know where your water mains are and get any dodgy plumbing sorted before it becomes an emergency claim.
3. Wet weather car accidents 🚗
Slippery roads + reduced visibility = more claims. Increase your following distance, check your tyre tread, and slow down.

Simple stuff that makes a big difference.
And if you're not sure whether your cover is actually up to the job this winter - that's what we're here for. 👇

We've all had our excessive moments. 😅
The overpacked suitcase. The extra bottle of wine. The dog who eats better than you do.
But in insurance, excess has a very specific meaning - and understanding it could save you a nasty surprise when you actually need to make a claim.
In insurance, excess is actually pretty straightforward. It's the amount you pay first when you make a claim - before your insurer covers the rest.
And if you'd like to know whether your excess is set at the right level for your situation, we're always happy to help. 👇

🏛️ Ancient & Unexpected - The concept of insurance dates back over 4,000 years. Ancient Babylonian merchants used a system where a loan would be forgiven if a shipment was lost at sea, basically the world's first cargo insurance. Not bad for 1750 BC.
