The Granite Belt, known for its cool climate wines, crisp air, and rugged countryside, might seem a world away from corporate hustle—but for an insurance broker here, every day brings a unique mix of community connection, problem-solving, and unexpected turns.

6:30 AM – Early Start with Coffee and Weather Checks
The day begins with a strong coffee and a glance at the forecast—hail, frost, or fire risk can all change a client’s needs. In the Granite Belt, weather isn’t just small talk. It’s a business variable.

8:00 AM – Emails and Farm Policies
At the office or the home desk, the inbox fills fast. A vineyard wants to update its crop insurance. A cattle farmer needs to review their public liability. A couple renovating a 100-year-old farmhouse asks about builder’s insurance. No two policies—or people—are the same.

10:00 AM – On the Road
Granite Belt Insurance Brokers don’t stay behind a desk. It’s off to meet clients—first stop, a stone fruit orchard outside Stanthorpe. The grower walks you through storm damage from last week. You snap photos, assess the claim, and reassure them: “We’ll get this sorted.”

12:00 PM – Lunch with a Local
Lunch might be at a local café where you’re known by name. Over pumpkin soup, a café owner mentions they’re expanding. A quick chat turns into a future business insurance quote.

1:30 PM – Back-to-Back Appointments
You sit down with a young couple buying their first home. Then an older client drops in with a dog-eared folder and questions about travel insurance. Your job is part advisor, part translator—turning insurance jargon into something that actually makes sense.

4:00 PM – Policy Reviews and Paperwork
Back to the desk to finalize policies, lodge claims, and chase underwriters. You juggle phone calls from insurers with the occasional interruption from a client walking in with no appointment and lots of questions. You make time—because that’s how business works here.

6:00 PM – Community Comes First
You might finish the day at a local chamber meeting, sports club, or charity event. Insurance in the Granite Belt isn’t just business—it’s personal. Trust is built face to face.

8:00 PM – A Final Check
Back home, you skim over tomorrow’s appointments. A winemaker needs a risk review. A bushfire policy is up for renewal. Every day is different, but the mission stays the same: protect your community and help them thrive.
