About Us

Austbrokers Countrywide – an integrated financial services provider

With our beginnings in 1952 as a general insurance broker, we have evolved over the years into an integrated financial services provider.

The company’s growth has been enhanced by a series of mergers and acquisitions, with Countrywide Insurance Broking, Tolstrup Insurance Broking, Keith Young Insurance Brokers, Perree Partners, Bailhache Walker Brown, APESMA Insurance Services, ARA Insurance Services and Member Advantage Insurance Services all coming under the Austbrokers Countrywide umbrella.

In 1996, The Austbroker Group purchased 49.9% equity in the business, providing the company with the security and support of a large organisation, as we continued to grow our financial services business. Austbroker is an ASX listed company - access their website at www.austbrokers.com.au.

In July 2008, we changed our trading name from Countrywide Tolstrup Financial Services Group to Austbrokers Countrywide to reflect our involvement in a group delivering national strength linked with individual commitment.

Austbrokers Countrywide now employs more than 50 staff and has 10,000 clients accessing a range of services, including:

  • Construction Insurance
  • Association Insurance programs
  • Superannuation – personal and corporate
  • Financial Planning
  • Business and Retail Insurance
  • Professional Indemnity
