APRA Reports Increase in General Insurance Premiums via Intermediaries

Of this total, $18.87 billion was placed with APRA-authorised general insurers, marking an increase from $17.66 billion in the June 2025 half and $17.97 billion a year earlier. This growth indicates a strengthening reliance on intermediaries within the Australian insurance market.

For tradespeople, this trend underscores the importance of engaging with knowledgeable insurance intermediaries who can navigate the evolving market landscape. Intermediaries can provide tailored advice, ensuring that tradies secure comprehensive coverage that aligns with their specific needs and risk profiles. As the insurance market continues to adapt to various economic and environmental factors, leveraging the expertise of intermediaries can be a strategic advantage for those in the trades sector.
