How much does Insurance brokers cost in Melbourne? (2026 price guide)

Using an insurance broker for personal cover like home, contents or car insurance is often free to the client, as brokers are typically paid a commission by the insurer rather than charging a direct fee. Where a broker fee does apply, it's typically $50-$300 depending on policy complexity.

Cost to you, through your premium, depends on the type and amount of cover, your claims history, risk factors, and the insurer chosen. Complex situations, like high-value homes or multiple properties, may involve a broker fee alongside commission-based earnings.

Ask upfront whether the broker charges a fee in addition to commission, and request a comparison of at least two or three insurers' quotes so you can see the broker is genuinely finding competitive cover rather than defaulting to one insurer.
