About Us

Premier Wealth Protection was founded in 2011 after its director Ben Sullivan saw a gap in the market for a specialised boutique firm which could provide a personalised level of service that the major insurers could not. From the very beginning the company's mission statement has been to help everyday Australians protect their wealth against the uncertainties of life. 

To date Ben and his team have helped over one thousand Australians and their families manage their risk and protect their wealth, a benefit Ben believes all Australians should have.
