We strive to challenge the status quo.
We believe every client is equal, whether it’s a small car policy or a large business portfolio.
That belief now runs through a group of specialist businesses. Each has its own experts and its own focus, and all of them share the same aim: protection made fast, easy and personal.

Our founders
Three founders.
One belief.
Shielded was started on the Sunshine Coast in 2016 by co-founders Joshua Scutts, Stuart Brady and Doug Strong, with a belief that every client deserves better from their broker. Ten years on, that belief runs through every Shielded business.
