GCIS Insurance

Is insurance always about pricing? Short answer: No. I recently met with the Risk and Compliance Officer of a church we’re assisting with their insurance. It was a refreshing conversation—not just about coverage and costs, but about risk management strategies that go beyond the policy itself. Their main concern? Potential gaps in coverage. We took the time to go through the policy, address key concerns, and explore proactive risk management measures to help protect their church. At the end of the day, insurance isn’t just about having a policy—it’s about understanding risks and finding the right solutions. And of course, no meeting in Springvale is complete without some delicious Malaysian food! 😁 #RiskManagement #InsuranceSolutions #BeyondPricing #BusinessProtection #ChurchInsurance #GCISInsurance #ClientFocus #SpringvaleEats

🎉🎆 Happy New Year 2025! May it bring happiness and success! 🌟🥂 Looking forward to what the next 12 months will bring and would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our clients, insurers and Insurance Advisernet Australia over the last 6 months for your support. Still feels unreal that I left my PAYG to start my own business and they say the first 2 years is especially hard, glad i'm roughly 25% of the way there! Good thing endurance sports like running and cycling is my thing, which makes running a business feel easier :) 📧 gary@gcisinsurance.com.au ☎️ 0431 131 961 🌐 www.gcisinsurance.com.au

One of the best parts of my job is getting to really know my clients. Today, I had the opportunity to catch up with Steven Pereira CPA, after arranging the insurances for his church insurance and rental property insurance. What was supposed to be a quick one-hour meeting turned into a two-hour conversation! We barely spent five minutes on insurance – the rest of the time, Steven shared stories from his fascinating journey, from his days as a CIO at an international company to his current passion for blogging about life and Faith. If you're interested in his insights, check out his blog: https://lnkd.in/gAkb-KnQ Here's to more connections like this!

Just wrapped up my first Insurance Advisernet Australia conference in Cairns, and what an incredible two days! This year’s theme “Dream, Achieve, Inspire”set the tone for some inspiring sessions. We covered essential topics like cyber security, advancements in AI, and building a performance mindset—all key in today’s fast-evolving world. It was also a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry peers, insurers, and underwriting agencies. Looking forward to bringing these insights and connections back to GCIS Insurance!

Networking Tuesday: We are back! Had a great visit with the hardworking business owner of Cafe Axxess, Haris Tjioe who has been one of my earliest supporters. I still remember him saying, “Hey, when you start your business, let me know and I’ll switch my insurance over to you.” Haris is also a mortgage broker, so if you’re looking for a loan or a review, definitely reach out to him! It didn’t stop there—big thanks to Dale Odgers for lunch! Dale also runs an insurance brokerage, and it’s always valuable to catch up with peers, discuss what’s happening in the insurance world, and share ideas and strategies to stay ahead. #Networking #BusinessSupport #InsuranceIndustry #Collaboration #SmallBusiness #GCISInsurance #PeerLearning #CommunitySupport #Entrepreneurship #Growth
