About Wideland Insurance Brokers

Wideland Insurance Brokers is part of the WebInsure group, founded in 1996 by Trent Sampson who began his insurance career in regional NSW agricultural communities in 1992 — working with farming families before co-founding WebInsure and building a broking practice with genuine understanding of rural and regional risk. Co-owner Lorraine Sampson holds a Rural Science degree from the University of New England and an agronomist qualification. This depth of agricultural understanding is uncommon in the insurance industry and gives Wideland clients access to advice that actually reflects how farms and regional businesses operate.

Wideland is an Authorised Representative of Community Broker Network Pty Ltd (CBN) ABN 60 096 916 184 AFSL 233750, and a member of the Steadfast Group — Australia’s largest insurance broker network. This combination gives regional clients access to a broad panel of admitted insurers and specialist underwriters, competitive pricing through group purchasing arrangements, and the support of a national network while retaining the personal service of a regional broker.

Wideland arranges insurance for clients across regional and rural Australia — not just Queensland. Farm, crop, livestock, truck, earthmoving, contractor, hospitality, strata and small business insurance for clients from the Kimberley to the Coral Sea, from the Gulf Country to the Southern Tablelands. If you are in regional Australia and need insurance arranged by people who understand country, call Wideland on 07 4602 9002 or enquire online at any time.

Stock and station agents who handle large volumes of livestock transactions carry a specific professional liability exposure that general commercial policies rarely address adequately. The value of a single livestock consignment can be substantial — and if an agent’s error results in a loss, the claim can be significant. Professional indemnity insurance for stock and station agents needs to be structured around the actual volume and value of transactions, the services provided beyond basic agency, and the specific liability exposure of each advice and recommendation. Call Wideland on 07 4602 9002 to discuss your professional indemnity requirements.
