ARGIS Farm Extra
Our Future Farm Approach
As a result of the recent review of our regional risk portfolio, we have made the decision to exit from consistently underperforming categories.
ARGIS will be withdrawing from and will not be renewing:
- Policies with non can-do occupations (including hobby farms);
- Policies not situated in our can-do postcodes; and
- Existing policies with less than 5 qualifying sections.
Our risk appetite will now concentrate on providing a complete farm package within our
can-do occupations and postcodes. A farm package will be defined as having 5 or more qualifying sections, including Farmer's Liability, with a minimum annual base premium of $1,500.
ARGIS will continue to specialise in farm packages for primary producers and these changes will allow us to better service this market by offering a competitive farm focused insurance product.
Also, our new straightforward approach is based on providing you a fast turnaround on all of our services (quote request, queries, claims notification), making the insurance process easier for you.
New Underwriting Criteria
New 5 sections minimum criteria
Our new risk appetite requires clients to have a minimum of five qualifying sections in their policy. "Farmer's Liability" must be included as one of these 5 qualifying sections.
Our qualifying sections are:
Farm Buildings; Farm Contents; Farm Contents Theft; Farmer's Liability; Machinery Breakdown & Refrigerated Stock; Fire: Fencing, Farm Machinery & Sundry Items; Fire: Livestock; Dwelling; Contents of Dwelling; Farm & Business Vehicle, and Personal Accident & Sickness.
Our non-qualifying sections that can be added to a policy are:
Private Motor; Farm Working Dogs; Livestock; Personal Effects and Pleasure Boat.
New excess on claims
