WTW Education - Creating partnerships with independent schools

How we partner with you

Trusted advisor

WTW has been providing insurance broking and risk management services to independent schools and the education sector in excess of 40 years in Australia. Under the leadership of Sally Coulton as the Education Leader for Willis in the Pacific Region our experienced servicing teams have many years of experience and understand what clients in the education sector require of their insurance broker and risk advisor.

The WTW Education Team is committed to providing optimal service levels, from insurance placements to claims handling and risk management. The team will provide local personalised service for all aspects of your insurance and risk management requirements.

Claims Advocate

The test of any insurance program is its ability to respond when needed. WTW Claims Team was established to support our service delivery by assisting our clients with the lodgement and processing of claims together with addressing general claims enquiries.

Central to WTW Claims is their proactive claims management which ensures that claims are being managed without unnecessary time taken by the school in personally managing a claim.

Our proven claims performance with independent schools in settling frequent and difficult insured losses was highlighted after a number of schools suffered substantial fire and weather damage losses in recent years.

Market Leverage

At WTW we work hard to deliver on our commitment to develop client solutions with the best markets and premium terms. To do so, we draw upon the global knowledge, expertise and market relationships of WTW.

We are proud of our reputation for being a strong negotiator and procuring best available pricing. We treat all markets fairly and act with integrity at all times to avoid conflicts of interest.

Risk Management

WTW services extend beyond the purchase of insurance policies. Risk management services are an integral part of our offering to independent schools, with a view to either minimising the incidence of loss, managing risk or to comply with ever changing legislative requirements.

WTW Education Risk Scorecard

A self-assessment tool to evaluate risk management activities of your school in six key areas which are formal risk management framework, liability, property, workplace health and safety, workers compensation and cyber security. As part of the self-assessment evaluation, the Risk Scorecard will also provide the following:

  • Risk score results summary and breakdown for each key area – helps you identify strengths and weaknesses, and prioritise where risk management attention is needed most.
  • Risk score benchmark for certain key areas against other independent schools and all results will be kept strictly confidential.
