WTW Education - Creating partnerships with independent schools
How we partner with you
Trusted advisor
WTW has been providing insurance broking and risk management services to independent schools and the education sector in excess of 40 years in Australia. Under the leadership of Sally Coulton as the Education Leader for Willis in the Pacific Region our experienced servicing teams have many years of experience and understand what clients in the education sector require of their insurance broker and risk advisor.
With responsibility for over approximately 200 clients nationally, WTW provides risk management analysis, and direction on the construction of thoroughly tailored insurance programs.
The WTW Education Team is committed to providing optimal service levels, from insurance placements to claims handling and risk management. The team will provide local personalised service for all aspects of your insurance and risk management requirements.
Claims Advocate
The test of any insurance program is its ability to respond when needed. WTW Claims Team was established to support our service delivery by assisting our clients with the lodgement and processing of claims together with addressing general claims enquiries.
Central to WTW Claims is their proactive claims management which ensures that claims are being managed without unnecessary time taken by the school in personally managing a claim.
Our proven claims performance with independent schools in settling frequent and difficult insured losses was highlighted after a number of schools suffered substantial fire and weather damage losses in recent years.
Market Leverage
At WTW we work hard to deliver on our commitment to develop client solutions with the best markets and premium terms. To do so, we draw upon the global knowledge, expertise and market relationships of WTW.
We are proud of our reputation for being a strong negotiator and procuring best available pricing. We treat all markets fairly and act with integrity at all times to avoid conflicts of interest.
