How we are Paid
Fees
Woodward Insurance Brokers LTD does not specifically charge fees, expenses or any other amount for
the financial advice provided to you however, we receive commission and have an invoice fee of
$5.75 for each invoice provided by us on fire and general type products. Fees may be charged for
additional services you wish us to provide. These will be mutually agreed on before services are
provided. Where brokerage commission is not allocated within a fire and general product, we will
charge a usual commission normally allocated on that type of product and will be presented as an
invoice fee added and combined with the $5.75 invoice fee together.
We believe electronic mailing is the best way to do business. This helps to save the planet and it
also shows a good paper trail for compliance.
Should someone want their documents posted, this adds additional compliance and costs, therefore we
will add a reasonable fee for the time it takes to add extra compliance along with the printing and
postage costs that we would not normally have to
incur.
Commissions, Incentives and Conflicts of Interests
Woodward Insurance Brokers Ltd is paid in the form of a commission, brokerage commission, bonus
commission and/or FAP commission from insurance providers for polices we give advice and place
business, all members of our employees are paid by mostly salaries or wages and as such, do not
directly receive any commissions or brokerage commissions earned in the placing of insurance with
providers directly. Employees may receive a share of commission through bonus as part of their
remuneration package, however this is not limited through providing clients with any particular
insurance provider, these bonuses are designed to incentivise following a compliant process and to
provide good service to our customers.
The commissions Woodward Insurance Brokers receive are built into your policy premiums.
At times, we may share a split of commissions with another broker or adviser who has knowledge or
contacts that will serve your needs best. We also may share a percentage of the commission or
brokerage commission with self-employed contractor(s) who provides services for us or through us.
Endeavours will take place to manage the process of advice to customers to make
sure advice is of a compliant level and we are obtaining good customer outcomes.
