How to Contact Us
If you would like to provide feedback on the QBE Specialist Risks Unit business or web site, simply go to Feedback - we will value your comments. Please take the opportunity to tell us where we have done well and, more importantly, to tell us where we need to improve.

For correspondence, the Contacts section of this site includes QBE details for the Specialist Risks Unit network, plus links to contact details at the group level and at the divisional level for QBE Asia Pacific.

Internal & External Links
Along with our Singapore site, this web site provides a model for our other QBE businesses in the region. Over time, we will develop web sites for all the operations within the QBE Asia Pacific division.

As they come on line, you can visit these web sites from either the Links section of this site, or the Business Units section. Within the Links section, you will also find Industry links and links to Intermediary organisations.

Businesses within QBE Asia Pacific distribute their product primarily through insurance agents and brokers. Rather than list individual broking houses or agents, as a matter of policy we have provided links to the peak industry bodies in selected markets.

The intermediary organisations can provide you with information about specific broking houses or agency networks in your market. Using independent referral sources in this way helps ensure QBE integrity in its intermediary relations.

Breadcrumb Trail - Finding Your Way Back
This web site is part of a 'Russian Doll' system of sites within sites, that integrates group level, divisional level and local level information when required.

At the top of the web page you will find a 'bread crumb trail'. It will tell you whether you are viewing information at the:

  • QBE Specialist Risks Unit, networked level
  • QBE Singapore, local level
  • QBE Asia Pacific, divisional level
  • QBE Group, global level

You will see the 'breadcrumb trail' change to show you exactly where you are within the network of sites. Use the Backwards button to revert to the previous location and continue your search at that level.

Brokers, Agents & Clients
We've worked hard to develop a site that is useful to intermediaries and meaningful to clients and other stakeholders who might visit the site. Over time we will add interactivity and process efficiencies, but for now we hope we have done a good job in communicating the scope of our business and providing useful information on our specialist expertise.

Primarily, the QBE Specialist Risks Unit web site is a resource for insurance advisers, helping them to match insurance solutions to the needs of clients. The site reflects the vital role of insurance brokers and agents in the Asia Pacific markets. If you are a client or potential client we hope you find this site stimulates discussion on which QBE products are right for you - ask your insurance broker or agent to advise you.

QBE Specialist Risks Unit is a dynamic business unit, operating within rapidly growing markets. We have a cohesive team of professionals with specialist underwriting expertise and a commitment to quality underwriting and quality of service. We are committed to long term client relationships and will value the opportunity to do business with you.
