Declutter your desk

 

Get ready for 2026, by clearing your 2025 to-do list. 

 

What's on offer?

Clear out claims

Have you got a cargo claim haunting your desk? 

Maybe an email folder titled "D&D claim" that you file everything into and will sort out "one day". 


Staff Training

The best way to reduce risk to your bottom line is preventing issues from happening.

Train your staff on your policies, procedures and ways to protect your insurance. Catching issues early prevents costly issues in the long term. ROI? A "simple" claim can run $60k+ and training is a fraction of that!


Policies, procedures and templates

Do your staff know the drill because it's been written down, or is it more of a 'vibe" and the "school of hard knocks". Don't misunderstand me, living the problem is a sure fire way to not replicate it, but not everyone has to learn the hard way. 

Streamline your staff's day, implement standard terms and conditions, polices and procedures and eliminate the mental load on the repetitive tasks.  

 

Cargo Claims 

Do you have a cargo claim that you've stashed in the too hard basket? 

Claims aren't your BAU, but it is ours. 

We'll perform a cargo claim merit review for AUD3,000 + GST*

We'll review the claim and advise your chances of recovery success. You can clear it off your desk having brought in the professionals to assist. 

*Subject to a conflict check and signing of our engagement agreement

 

Detention & Demurrage Claims 

Do you want to still fight that D&D claim into 2026 or do you want to review, decide and draw a line through it?

 D&D can be messy, and frustrating. We're here to help.

We'll perform a D&D merit review for AUD4,000 + GST*

We'll review the claim and advise your chances of recovery/defence success. You can clear it off your desk having brought in the professionals to assist. 

*Subject to a conflict check and signing of our engagement agreement

Standard T&Cs

Do your standard T&Cs need a refresher?

A good way to check:

- Do they mention Trade Practices Act 1974 (then a refresher is a good idea)

- Do they have a general average clause? (If not, then a refresher is a good idea)

- Do they mention offering customs clearance - but you don't have a brokerage licence? (then a refresher is a good idea)

- Do they mention insurance, and it doesn't match your business practice? (then a refresher is a good idea)
