Richard Oliver Underwriting Managers

Welcome to Richard Oliver Underwriting Managers (ROUM), Australia's oldest Lloyd's Coverholder. With origins dating back to 1972, we have built a reputation for innovation and creative solutions in the insurance industry. Located in Melbourne on Bourke Street, our agency combines technical expertise, energy, and commercial acumen to develop optimal insurance solutions for our clients.

At ROUM, we offer a broad range of insurance coverages to meet your needs. Whether you require Marine Cargo, Goods in Transit, Carriers' Cargo Liability, or General Property coverage, we have you covered. Additionally, we specialize in corporate travel, group personal accident, journey and voluntary workers' cover, as well as expatriate and inpatriate solutions.

Protecting the intellectual property of your clients is crucial, and we understand its importance. Our specialized covers include Business Product Recall, Contaminated Products, Life Science/Biotechnology, Scientific & Medical Instruments, and Cosmetic & Health Products.

Crime cover is another area where we excel. By reducing your vulnerability to direct losses stemming from theft and certain types of fraud, we provide you with peace of mind. Unlike traditional commercial property policies, we cover certain types of crime and fraud losses.

As a member of the Underwriting Agencies Council, ROUM is committed to delivering value to our broking partners. Our mission is to create, underwrite, and manage books of business that meet your specific needs and expectations. We constantly update our database, ensuring that we have the latest information, including notable commercial property losses.

Recently, we had the pleasure of speaking with industry stalwart and ROUM founder, Richard Oliver. His vision and expertise have shaped our agency into what it is today.
