Our Focussed Appetite for the Fire Protection Industry

Arena Underwriting has a long‑standing and clearly defined appetite for the Fire Protection Industry, supported by a locally underwritten, Australian‑based insurer that is APRA‑approved. This provides brokers and their clients with confidence around insurer security, regulatory oversight and claims certainty.

Our Fire Protection Industry offering has been specifically developed for businesses operating in a highly regulated and technically specialised sector, where insurer experience and underwriting discipline are critical.

Who We Insure

Arena’s Fire Protection Industry scheme is available for Australian‑based businesses that are members of the Fire Protection Association Australia (FPAA). FPAA membership is recognised as an important quality and governance benchmark, reflecting industry standards and professional vetting.

Our underwriting appetite includes insureds engaged in the following activities:

• Supply, servicing and installation of fire extinguishers, hydrants and hose reels
• Supply, servicing and installation of fire alarm panels, fire doors, pumps, emergency and exit lighting
• Electrical work and all passive fire protection equipment
• Sprinkler alarm testing
• Servicing and installation of sprinkler systems
• Design activities relating to fire protection systems
• Certification activities
• Training activities
• Surveying and investigative services, including bushfire assessments
• Retail and wholesale sales of fire protection products (subject to scheme scope)

Available Covers

Arena can provide a complete insurance solution for eligible Fire Protection Industry clients, including:

• Public & Products Liability
• Professional Indemnity
• Management Liability

This allows brokers to place multiple core exposures through a single specialist underwriting facility, reducing complexity for both brokers and insureds.

Australian Insurer Security – APRA Approved

All Fire Protection Industry risks placed through Arena are underwritten by an Australian‑based insurer regulated by APRA.

For brokers and their clients, this means:

• Australian prudential regulation and oversight
• Local claims handling expertise

This is particularly important for Fire Protection businesses, where claims can involve complex technical issues, regulatory scrutiny and high‑value property damage.
