Safeguarding our clients against the financial costs of workplace claims, litigation and legal risks of running a small business.

Running a small business is incredibly rewarding. But it can also be incredibly challenging. Operating in one of the most complex workplace relations systems in the world, it's easy to find yourself on the wrong side of legislation, facing costly legal proceedings or in some cases penalties when in breach of the Fair Work Act or health and safety legislation.


That's why we've developed Peninsula Mutual Limited and Peninsula Protect exclusively for clients of Peninsula. Peninsula Protect offers protection to members who have been financially impacted by the cost of legal action brought against them.

With Peninsula Protect, we are stronger together

More flexible protection

Peninsula Protect allows greater flexibility in supporting and reimbursing members against claims. Peninsula Mutual Limited has no shareholders but is owned by its members existing solely to provide discretionary protection and benefits for those members. Any surplus funds are reinvested in the Mutual in the interests of members.

Because membership of the Mutual is exclusive to Peninsula clients, members benefit from the improved risk profile that Peninsula’s core services deliver, resulting in lower overall claims costs. By pooling contributions for discretionary protection, the Mutual is able to manage claims within its agreed pooled risk retention and to leverage the strength of the membership to buy insurance for the mutual to ensure it is always able to cover all claims above the pooled risk. The savings achieved can be passed through to members.

With Peninsula Protect we are stronger together.

Peninsula Mutual is controlled by a board that includes directors who are Peninsula clients – small business owners just like you who understand the risks and challenges of running a small business. Peninsula Protect offers increased limits of protection, broader cover and peace of mind in the event that your business is impacted by legal action. The board is able to exercise its discretion in areas of membership, scope and cost of protections and claims. This discretion provides a level of flexibility that commercial insurers can find difficult to balance with the competing needs of shareholders.

The protection provided by Peninsula Protect is a financial product and is issued by Peninsula Mutual Limited (AFSL 544 232). Peninsula Mutual Limited has appointed Peninsula Australia Pty Ltd as its Authorised Representative (No. 001274577) to manage distribution to its clients. Peninsula Limited has been appointed by the Mutual to handle distribution in New Zealand. These arrangements ensure that all client/member communications will continue with Peninsula.

Full details of the protection are contained in the Product Disclosure Statement and should be carefully considered along with the Target Market Determination to determine whether the product is suitable for you. The advice contained on this page is general and does not consider your personal objectives, financial situation or needs.
