    Helping people deal with
    the unexpected

    Wholly Australian-owned, eric Insurance is a leading general insurer with more than 20 years of experience in the automotive insurance industry. We’re all about making things better for our people, our partners and customers. As a company, we’re big enough to make a difference, but because we’re not a corporate giant (and we don’t want to be), we don’t lose sight of delivering quality products, customer service and long-term relationships.

    Our Values

    Our Customer Promise

    Our culture

    At eric, we’re carefully nurturing the development of our culture to align with our business strategy, and our people are a big part of that. Having a team that embraces our values will help us deliver the results we need to be an employer of choice and achieve the business strategy.

    To achieve consistently terrific customer service, you must hire wonderful people who believe in your company’s goals, habitually do better than the norm and who will love their jobs; make sure that their ideas and opinions are heard and respected; then give them the freedom to help and solve problems for your customers. Rather than providing rules or scripts, you should ask them to treat the customer as they themselves would like to be treated — which is surely the highest standard.
