What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Responsiveness and clear communication emerge as the strongest recurring themes across accounts of this Moorabbin brokerage. Clients describe dealings with named staff members including Corey, Susann Quigley, Jaidyn, Etika, Reanda and Joel Treadwell, and consistently characterise these interactions as prompt, polite and easy to navigate. Several reviewers note that questions were answered thoroughly before and after policies were placed, with follow-up calls and written updates keeping them informed through the process. Claims handling draws particular praise, including motor vehicle claims and multiple claims lodged together, where the care and attention shown throughout is described as notable.

Competitive pricing and savings feature in feedback, with clients reporting meaningful reductions when moving existing cover across or renewing policies. Long-standing relationships are also mentioned, with one client of more than two decades citing consistently satisfactory results, and another describing assistance with personal insurance alongside advice on broader financial matters. Business insurance placed under difficult market conditions is singled out, with persistence outside standard working hours credited for securing cover. Reviewers repeatedly point to professionalism, dedication and an ability to make complex arrangements feel straightforward.

Susann Quigley - Account Manager (AB Phillips) is sensational and amazing to do business with. Susann was so polite and professional to deal with from the initial call right through to helping select the right insurance product that was needed. Susann made herself available on request for any follow up questions and was so efficent & prompt in sending the details through. I highly recommend Susann to any clients looking for the correct insurance package.

Corey was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Super responsive, easy to deal with, and made the whole insurance process feel straightforward and stress-free. Everything was handled quickly and professionally, and he was always happy to answer questions and talk things through clearly. It made a big difference having someone who actually understands what is needed and just gets things moving without any unnecessary back and forth. Could not recommend Corey highly enough and will definitely be using him again moving forward.

You know how good your insurance is when you have to lodge a claim. Reanda and the claims team were fantastic in helping with a motor vehicle claim. Thank you.

We have had very good service from AB Phillips over many years including from Pasco, Gaurang and Etika. They are professional and knowledgeable and still provide a personal touch in this automated age where the personal touch is increasingly hard to find. It is very nice to talk to a person and not a chatbot. We feel that they respond quickly and that they strive to obtain high quality coverage for us at reasonable prices. I have no hesitation in recommending AB Phillips. Thank you.
